- pyre 16y agoCalling them 'documents' vs 'files' is a minimal difference. People are usually referring to the document itself when they say 'file,' not the file-in-a-folder-in-a-filesystem paradigm. If you open a spreadsheet in Google Docs, people still will view that as a file.
- pedanticfreak 16y agoIn reality, most documents today are multi-file archives that hide the complexity from the user anyway. The same goes for applications. The days of managing individual files passed a while ago.
