System for organizing physical files in a folder matrix with two dimensional and linear storage/retrieval capability

A system for organizing physical files, comprising:

• a plurality of folder pockets arranged in a folder matrix,
• the folder matrix comprising:
• one or more columns of folder pockets;
• one or more rows of folder pockets;
• one or more flexible substrates;
• the flexible substrates comprising one or more vertical hinges, wherein the one or more vertical hinges each couple adjacent columns of the folder pockets;
• the flexible substrates comprising one or more horizontal hinges, wherein the one or more horizontal hinges couple adjacent rows of the folder pockets;
• the plurality of folder pockets comprising at least one opening;
• at least one folder disposed in at least one opening;
• the plurality of folder pockets configured to allow for access to the opening in each a folded and an unfolded configuration of the folder matrix;
• wherein in the unfolded configuration of the folder matrix, the opening of the folder pockets in odd numbered rows of the folder matrix are oriented in a first direction and the opening of the folder pockets in even numbered rows of the folder matrix are oriented in a second direction that is opposite the first direction;
• wherein in the folded configuration of the folder matrix, the opening of the folder pockets are oriented in the same direction.

A system for organizing physical files, comprising:

• a plurality of panels arranged in a folder matrix,
• the folder matrix comprising:
• one or more columns of panels;
• one or more rows of panels
• one or more flexible substrates;
• the flexible substrates comprising one or more vertical hinges, wherein the one or more vertical hinges each couple adjacent columns of the panel;
• the flexible substrates comprising one or more horizontal hinges, wherein the one or more horizontal hinges couple adjacent rows of the panel;
• a folder;
• the panel comprising at least one fastener configured to retain corners of the folder;
• the folder comprising at least one opening;
• the folder configured to allow for access to the opening in each a folded and an unfolded configuration of the folder matrix;
• wherein in the unfolded configuration of the folder matrix, the opening of the folder in odd numbered rows of the folder matrix are oriented in a first direction and the opening of the folder in even numbered rows of the folder matrix are oriented in a second direction that is opposite the first direction;
• wherein in the folded configuration of the folder matrix, the opening of the folders are oriented in the same direction.
