You haven't mentioned this but it seems to me that you are a blind
user. I'm going to assume that for now.

When entering what you call "file option" you actually open a file
browser. Rockbox uses pre-rendered clips for speaking text. The voice
file is the file holding these clips for the menus. Since we cannot
know the names of the files and folders on your player it's not
possible to include those in the voice file (there are also further
technical reasons why speaking file entries work differently, I'm not
going into details here).

If you want Rockbox to speak entries in the file browser you need to
create so-called "talk clips". You can use Rockbox Utility for
creating those. Alternatively you can also configure Rockbox to spell
the entries.

Yes, you missed reading up in the manual on how you configure voice:
