File vs folder: See e.g. DEU sv \"dossier\": \"Ensemble des documents concernant un sujet, une personne, le plus souvent réunis dans une chemise, un carton.\"

This is exactly what the English word \"file\" means in an administrative context. A \"folder\" is just a bent piece of cardboard: the term does not include the documents contained in it. This is the real world here, not Windows.
