Yahoo! sent an email to all of its users stating that they are going to shut down Yahoo! Briefcase on March 30, 2009. Yahoo! Briefcase is a tool that allows you to store files online and then access them from anywhere.
When and why is Yahoo! Briefcase closing?
Yahoo! will close Yahoo! Briefcase on Tuesday, March 30, 2009. After this date, you will be unable to access Yahoo! Briefcase or your files within the Yahoo! Briefcase account.
Why? Because, in a Web 2.0 world where Yahoo! Mail has unlimited storage and Flickr offers media sharing, users and services have outgrown what the Yahoo! Briefcase service can provide. As such, Yahoo! is closing Yahoo! Briefcase to focus our efforts elsewhere.
Below is a copy of email that Yahoo! sent :
“Dear Yahoo! Briefcase user,
We will be officially closing Yahoo! Briefcase on March 30, 2009. Until then, we are offering you the opportunity to download your files back to your computer. You will need to take action before we close, after which any files remaining on Yahoo! Briefcase will be deleted and no longer accessible.
