How do I plan vertical file cabinet capacity when my office is growing quickly?

Fast-growing offices often underestimate filing needs and scramble to add cabinets reactively. Planning ahead: calculate current file volume and estimate monthly growth rate, then project 2–3 years forward to determine total cabinet capacity needed. If you have 8 full drawers currently and are adding one drawer of new content per month, you'll need 24 more drawers in 2 years — that's six more 4-drawer cabinets. Build in 25–30% extra capacity from the start to avoid constant reactive purchasing. If floor space is limited, consider lateral filing cabinets (which store more per square foot) or high-density mobile shelving for future expansion.
