Advantages: great for sharing

Disadvantages: none

I discovered Yahoo Briefcase by accident and it is a wonderful tool. If you go into Google search engine and type in Yahoo Briefcase and then press I feel lucky, you will be taken automatically into the page where you can sign up for a briefcase of your own.

This is a place where you can store things and share things with friends. In my briefcase for example, I have a song of Eva Cassidies which I have shared with people on Ciao who have never heard her sing, and I have a game called Aironix which is as addictive as anything.

Anyone can sign up for an account and the instructions on the page are clear to follow. You simply sign up and away you go. There is a section where you can add files from your computer and it browses until you find what it is that you want to put there, and then it uploads the files onto the net and they are safe in your briefcase to pass to a friend.

There is limited storage capacity so be careful not to send files that exceed this, or it will not accept them. A free account which of course we all like gives you 30 megabites of space, but remember when you have given your friends the files, you can always take out the ones you have transferred and put more in there.

Your files in Yahoo briefcase can be accessed from anywhere, so it is useful for putting important letters that you want to access from another computer as well. I have used it for this when I was on holiday.

As many Ciao members will tell you in their comments (hopefully if anyone reads this), I have shared things with other Ciao members and it is a great way to give a present to a friend that is far away. My two main files are the game and the music, but if you want a particular song, it is not as long to download as it is from Kazaa and places like that.

Anyone who wants to try my Aironix game just ask, and you can get to experience the Yahoo Briefcase adventure for yourselves. HA !!!! No secrets in mine for you to look at,
just things I like to share.
