The container construction includes a generally rectangular outer support portion, and a relatively pivotal inner file portion which is pivotal between open and closed positions with respect to the outer support portion. In the preferred form, the inner file portion can be opened to a tray-like V-configuration when disposed in its open position, thus facilitating convenient review and inspection of magnetic disks stored within the file portion.
