A portable filing case is provided with a stiff back, bottom, front, top, and foldable cover flap and is delineated into a rear compartment and an expandable front compartment by an upright compartment demarcation panel. The rear compartment is provided with a pair of flexible fabric rear side panels that extend between the file case back and the compartment divider panel. A pair of front compartment side panels are folded from top to bottom with a plurality of accordion folds that extend between the compartment divider panel and the front file cover. A plurality of file section dividers are individually secured to the expandable compartment side panels at separate ones of the accordion folds. A stiff-walled rectilinear tote box may be inserted snugly into the rear compartment to accommodate bulky items, such as thick catalogs and other relatively large articles. The file section dividers divide the front compartment into a plurality of filing pockets. The front filing compartment is expandable by pulling the upper edge of the front compartment front panel forwardly to fan the front compartment divider sheets apart. Alternatively, the front filing compartment may be compressed by pushing the upper edge of the front compartment front panel back toward the compartment demarcation panel, whereupon the foldable flap may be pulled over the top of both compartments and secured to the front compartment front panel by mutually interengageable clasp elements.
