The file system of FutureOS works at the same time with different can handle multiple simultaneous floppy disc drives and hard disc partitions. After the selection of the devices a device FutureOS reads and buffers the DIRectories directory entries of all devices that should be usedthe medium. Integrated utilities like the multi file copy can copy files from different physical sources to different physical sources destinations in one run.

The file system is compatible with the CPCs native data-, file- and format structures (f. e. File-header, Disc-formats). It is not compatible with native [[AMSDOS|AMSDOS]] or [[CP/M|CP/M]] programs. FutureOS and compatible applications can be downloaded at: [http://www.FutureOS.de www.FutureOS.de].

Filenames can use all 256 different characters and user numbers areas from 0 to 254 (except for &E5, which marks a is reserved for deleted filefiles). Different to Unlike Amsdos, a file that is erased under FutureOS will is not be shifted to user &E5, but it will be is physically removed from the directory. Files can be viewed on-screen (scroll up and down) or printed. You can also view the file-header. When typing a text-file it is possible to set the number of columns and lines of the window the text is displayed in. File-headers are displayed as AmsDOS file files or the icon-like file-header of a FutureOS program. An AmsDOS file-header has 128 bytes of which some bytes are unused. FutureOS makes use of those unused bytes so that files have a length definition of 24bit and can have a physical RAM select. Therefore a file can be defined to be loaded everywhere in the external RAM. Also a FutureOS file-header can contain a graphical icon, a textual icon or a short description of the file.
