Storage & Filing — Expert Answer

Should I invest in filing cabinets if my office is going paperless?

Even largely paperless offices need some physical filing capacity — signed original contracts, government filings, physical checks, and regulatory documents often require paper originals. A reduced-paper office typically needs 30–50% of the filing capacity of a traditional paper-based office. Plan for the documents you must keep in paper form, plus 20% buffer. Lateral filing cabinets also serve as general storage for supplies, electronics, and personal items when filing needs are reduced.
