can the files be put in laterally, so accessed from the side instead of the front?

From looking at it I don't think you can. The hanging rails fit into the sides and I don't see any way you could install them any other way.

No, the hanging rods run from front to back in pre-cut slots. They can be set close for letter files or far for legal files, but they would hang from side to side so the files would be accessed from front to back. If full, that does make it hard to reach the back files. I currently have 25 hanging files with about 4-5 folders in each one and it is full.

I don't know about ALL of the files being double sided, but mine is. Yes, you can use both sides, filing in one direction,not sea sawing like we are prone to do. Charline

Not so easy - I store the most useful records in the upper rack, with the things I may need for a project in the lower rack. I've moved the lower rack files to one side and upper rack files to the other. Using legal files, there's a good bit of wasted space...

The hanging rails are only on the sides; you wouldn't be able to hold hanging legal files. Also, this is much longer than a legal file so the dimensions wouldn't be right.

Sorry but I always store them on the side in a hanging folder. It's easier to pull out papers without having to take out the whole folder which you would have to do if it was standing vertically. Hope this helps.

They can definately be hung seperately. In fact by hanging them seperately you will get much more space to put files then when they are stacked.

Yes you can, and you can use them as partitions as well. I am thinking of ordering another set. They are easy to set up too.

I haven't tried it, but I don't see why not. Make a folder completely separate from the one where the backups are being directed, and put anything you want in that folder.

No it is landscape. Each color folder you can place part in side ways not up and down.

the lateral file came with the 4 lower as file drawers that you pull out rather than like the top one that came with the lift up front - however, all of the drawers are adjustable to which ever way you want them to be with all of the hardware included to change them.

Hi. It's difficult to understand how you define "lateral" files. They are of standard page length and typically a file cabinet has the flexibility of allowing a person to insert these hanging file folders parallel to the front drawer of a standard width file cabinet. They will, of course, work being inserted perpendicular to the front file drawer but only if the file cabinet has a hanging rod or bar that spans the width of the cabinet itself. The file drawer in my desk allows me to insert the files in either direction, depending on whether I like the folders to run parallel to the drawer's length or perpendicular to its length. In summary--Yes (but only if your drawers allow the configuration).

Yes you can put cd/dvd on both sides of the page this helps to also keep them tight fitting in place when removing and putting back in place.

I don't see how you could hang files from side to side with the hardware that is included. I use mine front to back files 2 rows wide per drawer. It holds a lot of file folders and the folder section of the drawer is 15" front to back. If you multiply that X4 (2 rows per drawer X 2 drawers). I would imagine you could put a free standing file rack in the drawer and use it side to side. Either way, this thing is heavy and seems to be a nice piece of furniture. Not the easiest thing I've ever assembled, but really not that bad to assemble either. Hope I was able to provide you with the advice you need to decide. I enjoy mine and use it as a makeshift desk as well. I don't see how you could hang files from side to side with the hardware that is included. I use mine front to back files 2 rows wide per drawer.

The frame will be a little low in the drawer, but you can used longer file folders.But if you cannot find a deeper file folder frame, you may have to make it fit to your specifications.Like raise the frame on the bottom......

The files hook on from one side to the other, not front to back, so you will pull the files toward you or away from you to look at them, rather than push them left and right.

Nope, that's the best way to do it. You can either just store your documents and media on the other drive straight up for little to no setup and point each app there (iTunes and iPhoto, for example are easy to do: hold down Option when opening them). Or you can set up symlinks to folders on the other drive for better integration. Lastly, there is a hidden advanced option in System Preferences to point your entire user folder somewhere else. You could then copy your complete Home folder to the other drive; this is not recommended unless you understand what's going on and what the possible ramifications of not doing it correctly are.

We store them 'side to side' (horizontally). I believe that you can certainly store vertically; but with time, the weight will debilitate the structure. We store the CD's/DVD's in these cases in individual paper bags, and when they're full, they are very heavy.
