Store the floppy disks in the File Box.
Put each floppy disk in each envelope or plastic case and store it in the file box that should stand upright.

Write on the color label with a felt pen.

something with a soft-touching tip such as a felt pen. It may cause an error to use a rubber eraser or a paper
chip.

disk.

ruin the recorded data.
