How it's used
Primarily used in professional or office settings, this term carries a slightly formal tone compared to the everyday word 儲存. While it specifically refers to filing physical or digital records for future reference, it is frequently used metaphorically in casual conversation to mean mentally noting or remembering information for later use.
Examples
Please help me file this document first.
Remember to save the file after you finish the report.

Common mistake
