About you
A smartphone screen showing a photo gallery, a messaging app, and a music player. Tiny labels float above each: 'file', 'file', 'file'. Dozens of them. Clean, modern illustration.

Every photo on your phone is a file.

Every text message is stored in a file. That playlist? A file pointing to other files. Your alarm settings, your Wi-Fi passwords, your health data -- all files.

You create roughly 50 files per day without knowing it. Screenshot? File. Voice memo? File. Edited a document? The old version and the new version are both files.

You've been making files your whole life. Now learn what they actually are.
