folder

verb; zero derivation
to put something into a folder
 
"Verbing," or turning a word that is originally of another part of speech into a verb, is something that is very common now, with terms like "Google" changing to mean the act of searching something in an internet search engine rather than meaning the particular search engine itself. Something similar happened here, with the term coming to function as a verb without any change in pronunciation or spelling from the noun.
Etymology : From the noun "folder."
Source : "Let's folder this." In reference to putting forms in a physical file folder.
