forest styling - Horizontal tree similar to a folder tree

Question

I would like to obtain the following formatting for a tree with the excellent package forest only. Maybe the example in page 82 of the documentation or this other post could be a starting point.

Here is the code for a horizontal standard tree.
documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}

usepackage{forest}

begin{document}

begin{forest}
    for tree = {%
        grow'  = 0,
        l      = 2.5cm,
        parent anchor=east,
        s sep  = 1.2cm,
    },
    [
        [A
            [B]
            [C
                [D]
                [E]
            ]
        ]
        [F]
    ]
end{forest}
end{document}
