    Review

    AmazonBasics has manufactured a lot of excellent products for home, school, and office, and this is one of their most popular expanding organizer file folders, on the market.

    It is made from a super-durable poly material that is designed to be tear-resistant and waterproof, which helps with the integrity and safety of your documents.

    This expanding file folder is capable of holding up to 900 sheets of standard-sized paper, and it has a total of 13 individual pockets that are excellent for helping you to keep all of your documents organized.

    It has a full-size flexible flap and a cord closure, which makes traveling with this file folder easier.

    What Consumers Are Saying

    Most consumers that purchased this expanding file organizer liked that it was made from a strong durable poly material and that it is capable of holding up to 900 sheets of paper. However, they have expressed concerns that the dividing tabs are set low on the pockets, and they sometimes get hidden even when placing standard-sized paper into the folder pockets.

    What We Love:
    • Made from super-durable poly material
