Digimon World 2
In the past, humans escaped from File Island on the Archive Ship. Crimson and the Blood Knights intended to return to it, which led Akira and the Guard Teams to seek how to do so as well. Ultimately, Akira managed to arrive in the Archive Ship after finding all of its parts alongside Ben Oldman, though the Blood Knights got there first.
File Island is accessed through the portal of Archive Port from the Directory Continent, which connects to the Archive Ship in the Beetle Land area of File Island. It serves as the second overworld map of the game after Directory Continent.

Digimon Story
Old Canyon was originally a part of File Island, but then an evil Chimairamon appeared and turned it into an evil place. Then, a Tamer and an Andiramon fought the Chimairamon, but they lost. While the area should've been erased from the Digital World alongside File Island, it instead returned to the Digital World, and Andiramon was reborn as well as Pagumon.

Virtual Pets
Digital Monster
All versions of the Digital Monster virtual pet (Ver.1, Ver.2, Ver.3, Ver.4, and Ver.5) are set in File Island and the Digimon of these lineups represent the inhabitants of File Island.
As covered in their Digimon Reference Book entries, certain Digimon who debuted with these virtual pets and are identified as native to File Island, such as Metal Greymon (Virus) and Whamon, are noted to differ from their Folder Continent counterparts (Metal Greymon and Whamon Perfect) due to the difference in ecosystems.[1][2]
Digital Monster Ver.20th
The Ver.20th features all five version lineups from the original Digital Monster, with new additions at the Ultimate stage. There are also a number of new Jogress Digimon for the original lineups, as well as entirely new lineups included.
Digital Monster COLOR
The Digital Monster COLOR Ver.1, Ver.2, Ver.3, Ver.4, and Ver.5 are all set in File Island. Each version corresponds to that of the original Digital Monster virtual pets, with new additions to each lineup in a similar manner to the Digital Monster Ver.20th.
Maps
File Island and various locales within it are available as selectable backgrounds on these devices. The Grasslands are associated with Ver.1, the Desert with Ver.2, the Forest with Ver.3, the Mountains with Ver.4, and the Beach with Ver.5.
