A foldable file box receives hanging files. In one embodiment resilient rails are removably inserted by flexing the rails and inserting their ends into sockets formed in the sides of the box. The file box has a bottom panel, a generally rectangular top channel frame, and inwardly collapsible side panels. An end panel at each end of the box is hinged to a corresponding end piece of the top frame. When they swing down to a vertical position, the end panels lock the collapsible side panels to erect the box. In order to receive and maintain a pair of file rails in a spaced parallel relationship, aligned sockets are provided at the ends of the rails so that the file rails may be inserted therein by flexing. Alternatively, the file rails may be integrally molded into the box. For portability, various rolling supports, such as easily attachable rollers or a dolly, may be added to the file box.

A folding plastic box for storing hanging files suspended by corner hooks, said box having a generally rectangular base with two opposing side panels hinged to opposite sides of said base, said side panels being further hinged in approximately their middles to fold along a line parallel to the opposite sides of said base, end panels pivotally connected at upper corners of said opposing side panels, said end panels swinging up on said pivots to enable the box to be moved to a compact condition or swing down to enable said box to be moved to an erect position, four sockets integrally formed in two confronting pairs on the inside of said box near the tops of said corners, and two side rails, said sockets being positioned to support said rails in a spaced parallel relationship at a distance which supports the hooks on the hanging files, said sockets being formed to preclude longitudinal movement of said rails by a distance which would enable said rails to be dislocated responsive thereto.
