The Folder Tree Structure on Mac and Its HTML Files

 
Figure 1 is the folder structure under Mac, and its HTML files.
 

• The subfolders under the “Test Group” folder: 100+ and For Export
• There are .html files under the subfolder “For Export”.
• The subfolders under “For Export” all end in .files. These are the attachment folders for each .html file. Contains: pictures, attachments and other files.
