Don't overpay for these at an Office Supply Store - stick with Amazon Basics!
Style: 1 Pack - Black
I have two businesses and am the treasurer of our HOA so needless to say I have a lot of annual files to keep. I used to pick up these expanding files at the local office supply store where they want an arm, a leg, and a first-born child to pay for them. Then I found these on Amazon basics for way, way less and they are every bit as functional! You get a two-pack, and I wait for Black Friday sales when they are even cheaper and stock up! In the pack I got, one is black and the other gray, and every year I put my monthly business receipts and statements in one of these by month. For the HOA I have them sorted another way but have plenty of spaces to cover all the categories of records. They fit 8.5 x 11 records, they come with the little tabs to slide in so you can label each section. They are strong and durable and have an elastic band to close them up (but I wrap the lid around and secure it with the elastic so they sit open on my desk ready for filing at any time!). These will protect your papers and store them neatly and since it's plastic, a spill of your coffee or giant Stanley full of water will not affect your papers! These are almost too nice to file away each year., When I get to the 7-year mark for my records, I fully plan to just empty the oldest one, toss the contents, and reuse them. These will last a long time. So don't overpay at an Office supply store - stick with Amazon Basics to get the job done inexpensively without sacrificing quality. ... show more

A Lifesaver for My Chaotic Desk!
Style: 1 Pack - Black
The Amazon Basics Expanding Organizer File Folder in Black & Gray, and let me tell you, it has been a game-changer for my cluttered desk. These two folders are nothing short of amazing! First off, the design is sleek and professional. The black and gray color scheme gives them a modern, minimalist look that fits well in any office setting. But the real magic happens when you open these babies up. Each folder has a whopping 13 pockets! Yes, you read that right—13! That's enough space to organize all of my important documents, invoices, and even some personal stuff. The durability of these folders is impressive. The reinforced gussets and high-quality materials mean I don't have to worry about them falling apart, even with heavy use. They've handled everything I've thrown at them like champs. Another feature I appreciate is the expandability. I can stuff these folders to the brim, and they still close neatly, thanks to the elastic cord closure. No more worrying about documents falling out or getting crumpled. One more thing—these folders are a real space-saver. They fit perfectly in my filing cabinet, and I can also easily carry them to meetings or on the go. In summary, if you're drowning in paperwork and need an efficient way to get organized, the Amazon Basics Expanding Organizer File Folder is the answer. These folders are durable, spacious, and stylish. They've made my life so much easier, and I can't recommend them enough. Don't hesitate—buy them now and regain control of your desk! ... show more

Exactly What I Needed.
Style: 1 Pack - Black
I had been on the hunt for some of these locally for a long time and could not find any unless I wanted four or five compartments. I am using them to organize my scrap vinyl and htv that I use with my crafting. And in all honesty I didn’t have high hopes it would hold up well. I had a ton of scrap pieces. They worked like a champ! I cannot say enough good things about them! I have a thought in my head that because they were the basic brand and several other things including some reviews that they will probably end up being like this Lindsey ones that you would find at a store like dollar tree. That’s what I had in my mind when they came in I noticed that they were not that quality no they weren’t the highest quality but I still felt that they would work well. And they have! When I ended up hitting all the colors of my vinyl into one I realized it was more than enough pockets for how I wanted to separate out and were extremely good quality. It almost feels like with the price point and you getting to love them they are a steel. However my feelings might be because I can’t even find that style at my local Walmart or target. And the ones that I can find are $20 for one. Would definitely buy again! ... show more

Inexpensive and Adequate to Task
Style: 1 Pack - Black
Let's be honest, you're looking at this because you want to know if the cheap option will do - it will, so long as it will not have a hard life. It's very stiff plastic, so you may need to work the top flap back and forth a bit to break it in, but other than that it was fine out of the box. The plastic is that kind of cheap binder material - as such I don't have high confidence in it's ability to age gracefully if it will be getting tossed around a lot. If you plan to travel with this a lot, consider getting something a bit more up-market. It comes with various multi-colored labels that I can't speak to, as I am using it to archive already-labelled folders. Speaking of, your standard manila folder with the label tab is just a hair too tall - I expect that the tabs at the top will curl over, but the documents within are fine; not tall enough to have this problem (all standard 8.5"x11", stored landscape-style). The inner dividers seem adequate, but I would be wary of overfilling the cells, especially as this ages or wears with use, as I foresee the attachment between the dividers and the outer walls to be a weak point in the future. The elastic binding the folder feels *just* long enough to close it; the elastic will probably stretch over time and make it easier, but be prepared to have an odd miss or two at the outset. All in all, it's perfectly adequate to what I need, which is a longer-term file storage solution that I can keep out of the way, but retrieve when needed. I do not think this would last particularly long if living life on the road, especially if exposed to heat and cold, nor do I think it would stand up well to over-filling. But it's cheap, and it gets the job done for me. ... show more

Great folder; disappointing paper tags (to me)
Style: 1 Pack - Black
I really like these folders because they do exactly what they're supposed to and are relatively inexpensive. I was disappointed with the little tear-away paper tags that are included for labeling the sections of the folder. The paper is so slippery on the colorful side that I could only avoid smudges by A) writing with pencil, which barely showed up, or by B) writing on the back of the paper with a ballpoint pen, which smudged less but was white and therefore less fun. I don't know how important the little tear-away paper tags are to most people, so I didn't take away a star for the issue I had with them. I would ultimately still recommend this product, but it would be nice if the paper texture was different. ... show more

Perfect, reordering
Style: 1 Pack - Black
Perfect for my needs, I'm actually reordering another set or maybe two. If I had one complaint, it would be it takes a bit to get the index tabs in the plastic dividers but no big deal. I can see where other reviews stated the elastic closure stretches the more it gets filled and it will probably not go back to original size longer it's stretched. 13 pockets but only 12 label spots so 1 pocket will not be labeled. Good price point. ... show more

it's not high-end but it works well for the price
Style: 1 Pack - Black
This is a cheap file organizer that's made decently and has what I need to keep myself organized. I travel for my job, so I like to keep highly organized so I don't have issues come tax season. I bought this many times and it is strong enough to last and cheap enough to work with my budget.
