What does "We'll keep your resume on file" mean ?
So, I've been reaching out to a few consulting companies and all of them say "Hey, we are not hiring right now but I've shared your CV to keep on file". What does this statement actually mean and what "file" is this?

Basically it means they will keep it in their database and if a role opens in the future that your resume is a match for they will reach out to you

"on file" is just the old school version of save for later. Back when people kept documents in physical files. Lol.
