An accordion-like file includes a rear panel and a front panel secured to a bottom panel. The front panel has a hook and loop device. A number of envelopes are secured between the rear panel and a plate. The envelopes are expanded when the plate is moved away from the rear panel. The plate has an ear for moving the plate away from the rear panel and has a hook and loop device for engaging with that of the front panel so as to retain the envelopes in the expanded position. The ear is engaged in an opening of the plate.
