Definition: file management
File management is managing digital files such as images, videos, documents and everything in between. However, this goes far beyond just "managing" files. It can be all activities related to storing, organizing and sharing content.
What is file management software?
File management software aims to enable organizations and users to store, find and access the files they need as quickly as possible. As organizations grow and eventually create more content and media, it can become unclear where important digital files are stored; often cluttered across server locations and hard drives. Using a file management program is therefore the solution for organizations that have a large number of files.
