What is the difference between a storage cabinet and a filing cabinet?

Storage cabinets and filing cabinets differ primarily in interior configuration: filing cabinets (vertical or lateral) have drawers specifically fitted with hanging file rails for storing documents in hanging folders — they are optimized for high-volume document retrieval. Storage cabinets have adjustable shelves designed for a broad range of items — binders, boxes, supplies, equipment — with no fixed hanging file infrastructure. Some combination cabinets include both file drawers in the lower section and adjustable shelves in the upper section. For organizations transitioning to digital document management, storage cabinets with adjustable shelves are more versatile than dedicated file cabinets since their storage use can evolve as paper filing decreases.
