How should files be stored to ensure safety and maintenance?

Storing files in a toolbox separated from each other is the most effective method for ensuring both safety and maintenance. When files are stored in a toolbox, they are protected from environmental factors such as dust, moisture, and potential physical damage that could occur if they were left exposed on a shelf or hanging on a wall. The separation of the files allows for better organization, reducing the likelihood of edges becoming dulled or damaged from contact with each other. Additionally, this method makes it easy to transport the files securely without risking injury, as sharp edges are contained within the toolbox, minimizing the chance of cuts or other accidents. This organized and safe storage method extends the lifespan of the files and ensures they remain in good working condition for ongoing use.
