What is the capacity of a vertical file cabinet drawer in hanging files?

A standard vertical file cabinet drawer holds approximately 25–35 hanging file folders, or roughly 2–3 inches of compressed files per linear inch of drawer depth. A 27" deep drawer holds approximately 40–50 folders depending on folder thickness and document volume. For planning purposes, allow 1.5"–2" of drawer space per 1" of documents.
