Folders. At least to the end-user. Under the hood it’s Unix, so it wouldn’t be wrong to call them directories either.

I feel like referring to folders as users would cause a lot of unnecessary confusion.

I am pretty sure they mostly call them directories except in the GUI.

That’s what I meant. The GUI is all that 95% of end users interact with.

On OSX I’d guess around 99.9% of users never leave the GUI. Command Line on mac feels like a swear word these days.

macOS is actual, certified UNIX. I think they use both for the end user though, in documentation
