A typical drawer based filing cabinet will allow for the files to be stored vertically within the drawer, which means the files are visible from above. Similarly, a cabinet with lateral rails will suit lateral suspension files, these being accessible from a sideways angle. If you already have a system of shelves, these can be converted to accommodate lateral files, or shelf dividers can be used in order to organize the files themselves.
