Buff... i have said that in a meeting because I was extremely nervous. I will remember that scene for the rest of my life!

Gee, Bea, I can't hardly imagine what I would do in such a scene. Sadly, scream to yourself "someone kill me now" doesn't work.

In this case it would be a file. You keep your documents in different files in your computer.

Adding to the Laura´s comment, beside the physical container of printed sheets, 'folder' is also the file where you store other files in a computer, typically files that has common features that bond them together (files belonging to a project, for example)
