Using this value

Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (925) or the full path ("Office Supplies > Filing & Organization > File Boxes"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.

Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 925, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

Questions about File Boxes

What is the Google product category ID for File Boxes?

925. The full path, "Office Supplies > Filing & Organization > File Boxes", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.

Is anything more specific than File Boxes available?

No. File Boxes is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 3, so 925 is the most precise value this branch offers. If it does not describe your product closely enough, the answer is a different branch, not a deeper one.

Where does File Boxes sit in the taxonomy?

At level 3, under Filing & Organization (923). The chain from the top is Office Supplies → Filing & Organization → File Boxes. If your product does not belong under Filing & Organization, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.

What should I use if File Boxes is not quite right?

Look across the rest of Filing & Organization first — there are 17 other categories at this level: Address Books (5997), Binding Supplies (4312), Business Card Books (6190), Business Card Stands (6171), Calendars, Organizers & Planners (927), Card Files (5531), and 11 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Filing & Organization (923) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.

How big is File Boxes compared with the categories next to it?

It is fourth largest of the 18 at its level, carrying 0 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.

What is the difference between File Boxes and File Folders?
