Filesystems are Electronic Formats that are a prerequisite to being able to read any file off a digital medium — you have to be able to mount the filesystem, and thus read it, in order to be able to read a file.

Single-system filesystems

(how files are organized on one system or device, such as a disk, tape, or flash memory; see next category for networked and cloud filesystems)

Networked and cloud filesystems

(used to make files available to multiple systems over a local or wide area network, including "on the cloud" via the Internet; systems access files through a protocol or API. The low-level storage details, usually concealed from end users and even most developers, may be within one or more of the single-device filesystems above.)
