Yahoo Briefcase Closing Down

Yahoo Briefcase is about to shutdown it services in the end of march 2009. Are you a yahoo briefcase user. You might have definitely heard about yahoo briefcase and what for it is used? This service allows a yahoo user to allows you to store data files that you can access from anywhere with an Internet connection. You must be a registered yahoo user to avail this service.

When it was introduced by yahoo, there were lots of users for this service. But with the introduction of other players in the online storage market, yahoo has lots its share and that might be the reason to close this service.

I know one of my friend who is using yahoo briefcase to store his files online. He is running a travel company and used to store travel packages and tour itineraries as text file to yahoo briefcase. I have informed him about this news. He told me that he is planning to another online storage service.

Yahoo said in a statement that other yahoo services like Yahoo Mail and Flickr (online photos sharing website), offers much more storage capacity, and the number of people who are availing this service has come down in the recent years.

I think yahoo was one of the first player in the online storage services and after the introduction of yahoo briefcase many have started their online storage services. This internet based file storage service has still got many users. According to some reports, another search engine giant Microsoft has recently announced Live Mesh, which is an online storage service which can be accessed by mobile devices. There was also reports that Google is also introducing an internet file storage service named as GDrive.
