My desk has a small cabinet and I cant find the right size frame that will fit for my files
Hi Shay, what kind of files do you have?
Could you add cabinet shelves to it
Have you considered roll out shelves? You don't mention the size of the space so I can offer you Amazon to take a look, maybe something at IKEA.

Hi! Would something like this work?
Officemate Hanging File Frame, Letter Size, Adjustable 14 to 18-Inches, 2 Pack (91990) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0052L7GCC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_fabc_VGFN9XHESVZ2D36RV3K8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Most of those file frames have the metal side pieces scored so you can snap them off with pliers/channel locks to fit the depth of the cabinet. The upright pieces are standardized to fit the height of the drawer. https://myorganized.life/products/smead-hanging-file-frame-letter-size-2-pack-64872?gclid=Cj0KCQjwqKuKBhCxARIsACf4XuFzuSv0o35CPIybqjEuqGBx_a7uVCDmS_ZG0ELqZcbpyi1lsyqWW1QaAl5dEALw_wcB
You could put this on the floor of the cabinet, and then install a shelf above for some other storage like your printer paper..... but be sure to put it high enough you can get your file folders in and out withoiu having to take out the shelf.
What is the size of the cabinet and the size you need for your files?
Hello. Knowing your exact dimensions might be helpful. Have you considered a portable file box —-if it would fit?

You can purchase a hanging file frame, made to go inside a filing cabinet. They are free standing and you can just sit inside the cabinet. Then drop in some hanging folders to hold your files.
you can find hanging file racks most anywhere even Walmart they sit on a frame and you just hanging the hanging folders from it
