When Was The Filing Cabinet Invented?

I’ve been organizing office files lately, and it suddenly struck me that I wondered, when was the filing cabinet invented? 

According to documents from the Nebraska Historical Society, filing cabinets first appeared in the United States in the 1890s as upright filing cabinets, and quickly became widespread in North America and even globally, becoming a necessity in office environments.

Their invention allowed loose documents to be stored vertically using folders, not only improving organizational efficiency but also greatly facilitating daily access.
