Everything ultimately came from Xerox starting with icons in 1975 and the entire Xerox Star system with folders in 1981. [0] https://www.howtogeek.com/769913/t

  Yep, after Jobs visited PARC, there was no stopping him. Next thing you know, the C-64 had GEOS.

  But if we're giving credit, we can't leave out Douglas Engelbart's "The Mother of all Demos"[0] in 1968. > The live demonstration featured the introduction of a complete computer hardware and software system called the oN-Line System or, more commonly, NLS. The 90-minute presentation demonstrated for the first time many of the fundamental elements of modern personal computing: windows, hypertext, graphics, efficient navigation and command input, video conferencing, the computer mouse, word processing, dynamic file linking, revision control, and a collaborative real-time editor. Engelbart's presentation was the first to publicly demonstrate all of these elements in a single system. The demonstration was highly influential and spawned similar projects at Xerox PARC in the early 1970s. But I don't think it had manila folders, or called them as such.
