The AOL Personal File Cabinet (ORG) is a proprietary data storage format developed by America Online for managing offline user data. It primarily stores archived emails, contact lists, and message board posts for local retrieval within the AOL desktop software suite. As a legacy format associated with older versions of the service, it is now largely obsolete and requires specific conversion utilities or vintage software installations to access its stored contents.
