So che è una domanda banale, ma non riesco a trovare la traduzione esatta di "cartella" in informatica (es: la cartella "documenti" contiene i seguenti file:...)
Forse "folder"?
Grazie!

Explanation:
You can call it either a "folder" or "directory"; either are equally valid in a computer context.

folder


Explanation:
Direi folder. Directory lo troveresti anche in italiano come directory. Ti riporto però la seguente definizione:

Directory: catalogo di nomi di file e di altre directory registrate su un disco in modo che l'utente non sia sopraffatto da un lungo elenco di file. Nel sistema operativo Macintosh e in Windows 95 le directory sono dette cartelle.
