Yahoo! Briefcase, the online storage service by Yahoo!, will close on March 30th.

With a decade on its back, it has become totally obsolete -adapt or perish. The service currently offers 30Mb of storage with a maximum of 5Mb per file. Totally inadequate.

Yahoo! has decided not to enter into the competition of this type of services, especially when it is expected the arrival of a Google service (Gdrive), which, if it follows the Gmail strategy, it will offer an outrageously large online storage capacity, a user-friendly interface and integration with its other services.

According to Yahoo!, the reason for the closure is that nobody used it. The larger storage capacity offered by Yahoo! Mail accounts and the purchase of Flicker has lead users to use them as storage to the detriment of Briefcase.

If someone has something stored in Briefcase, and wants to keep it, then must retrieve it before March 30th.
