a folder

Hello,
I want to say "a folder" in Chinese: a container for keeping loose papers in, made of folded card or plastic.

Is it correct to say: A folder (一个文件夹) (Yīgè wénjiàn jiā) ?


Thank you.

I guess you want to say “档案盒” .

“文件夹” is like this


“档案盒” is this

Also, you'll need this more often: 文件袋（wen2 jian4 dai4）
文件袋 - Google Search
I can't upload this image, you could check this link.👁 Smile :)

And I and my friends, don't say 文件盒 or 檔案 in ordinarily Chinese, we usually say 文件袋 or 档 案袋
I think it depends on your aim, if you work in a company, you need to use 文件盒 or 档 案盒. But we don't use that in our life.
You could judge this by image, 盒/盒子 has more space than 袋/袋子， like we say 塑料袋 in our shipping, but use 紙盒 to denote a box used put paper in. Also notice that we say 垃圾袋 in whatever big or small bag. No matter how big it is.👁 Smile :)

文件盒，可以裝文件的盒子
文件袋，可以裝文件的袋子
