How do you get a metal file cabinet drawer unstuck?

If the push-lock is broken, you may have to gently pry the drawer up or down to release it. If the problem is folders stuck in the closure, try carefully rocking the cabinet to the rear to dislodge them (it may be heavy). If the slides are involved, you can try pulling slightly to one side as it opens. to shift the weight off the damaged slide. A completely jammed drawer may require competent mechanical repair.
