In Brazil, the term 'pastas' is universally used for both physical filing folders and digital directories. In corporate environments, especially in São Paulo's business district, both physical organization systems and digital file management use this terminology standardly. The transition from paper-based to digital organization has maintained consistent vocabulary usage across both contexts.
