Thank you

I remember when, (Reply to this comment)

I had a 100MB internet storage account with Netdrive.com. Too bad they were bought off by another company. Their storage would show up as a logical drive in windows explorer. You could also map your PCs HDD and access it thru Netdrive from a remote computer.

Yahoo has an older program that they do not support anymore. It's called 'Yahoo Drive' and it enables you to access the 30MB space thru windows exlporer as well.

I've used Yahoo Briefcase for many years now and found that it is not always reliable. It feels like they take older files and store them on a different server. I remember when I tried to clean it up and reorganize, it wouldn't let me access or delete my old files. After a few days I retried and it worked. I would strongly urge you NOT to put sensitive info like tax returns and time sensitive stuff on their servers. I know FOR SURE that some of their employees have access to it.

That said, this is a thorough and comprehensive review of Yahoo Briefcase.

Write on,
