okay, how do you associate photos, videos, emails, driving directions, and a formal invitation booklet that you received as a PDF with that cruise in the South Pacific several years ago to see the total eclipse. If all those electronic artifacts aren't "files" and the collection of them is not a "folder" (<rant>it's a directory damn you heathens !!!</rant>) that documents your trip how exactly do you organize your stuff ? Do you tag each and every object with the word "South Pacific Eclipse Cruise?" in the application that you use to access it? How do you find all the pieces associated with that trip? How do you find out if you do have a copy of that invitation booklet? I'm wondering how to practically move past "files" and "folders" ? (<balmer-rant>Directories, Directories, Directories .... </balmer-rant>)
For what you're talking about, typical people would rather have something like Microsoft Courier than a hierarchical directory. Popplet is Courier for multitouch.
