What is Physical files?

Physical files are tangible storage mediums that hold data, information, or records. Historically, these were primarily paper-based and organized in filing cabinets, folders, or binders. While less common in purely digital environments, physical files are still used for archiving, legal documentation, or situations where digital access is limited or impractical. Examples include paper documents, microfilm, and physical storage media like floppy disks or optical discs kept for long-term preservation.
