Yahoo's online storage system, Yahoo Briefcase is closing down

I just got an e-mail telling me Yahoo Briefcase is closing down on March 30, 2009. What is Yahoo Briefcase? It was Yahoo’s online storage service that provided a whopping 30MB (yes, megabytes) of space to you could access your files anywhere.

HP just dumped their “Upline” backup service, but at least they’re giving users up till March 31st, 2009 to grab their files. I had completely forgot about Yahoo Briefcase. It looks like I last used it about four years ago. I now use box.net and Dropbox quite regularly (apparently, I like the idea of online storage ideas).

In all seriousness, this is probably a good idea. Yahoo should be cutting the fat and streamlining their systems so they can become competitive once again. Expect redundant services to also be cut as well.
