card index

Usage Note

Fichero originally meant a card-index cabinet (fichero de clientes) and by extension now covers a computer file or directory in Spain. In Latin America and in computing internationally, archivo is more common for a digital file. The two words overlap but fichero often implies an organised collection rather than a single document.

Examples

"Guarda el fichero en la carpeta correcta."

Natural Translation
