I completely changed my mind on this a bunch of years ago when I did a lot of work with LDAP. “Directory” may have seemed a good choice at the time, but now we have so many things which are directories and fit the IRL definition better, to look up information. Meanwhile “folders” fit the IRL definition better, for things that contain and organize files

At this point they're both used so interchangeably it doesn't matter, honestly. "Directory" is going to keep slipping out for me because it's grandfathered in, but I genuinely don't even keep track of which one I use more frequently or which platforms use one or the other in their messaging.
