How it's used
Primarily refers to the act of storing items inside a cabinet or cupboard to keep a space tidy. While it can carry a vulgar slang meaning related to smuggling contraband, the context is usually clear from the situation. When used in a domestic setting, it is a standard instruction for organizing household items.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 入屋, which means to enter a house. Using this term in a professional context to describe filing documents might sound overly informal or slightly odd, as 放入櫃桶 or 存檔 are preferred for office tasks.
