How many users can efficiently share one flat file cabinet?

A single flat file cabinet can be efficiently shared by multiple users as long as the organization system is clearly communicated and consistently maintained. For a team of 3–5 users sharing one 5-drawer unit: assign specific drawers to specific users or project types, use consistent labeling conventions, and establish a 're-file immediately' culture so drawings return to their proper location after use. For teams of 5–10 sharing a flat file, a 10-drawer system with clearly labeled dedicated zones works well. For larger teams, multiple flat file units — potentially in a central plan room — are more efficient than one heavily shared unit.
