How can I add Yahoo Briefcase to the new My Yahoo?

Why did Yahoo! Briefcase close down a day *before* they stated?

  • Their help site said "We will close Yahoo! Briefcase on Tuesday, March 30, 2009. After this date, you will be unable to access Yahoo! Briefcase...." But the link to Yahoo! Briefcase was re-routed to www.yahoo.com early on the day of March 30. People like myself lost valuable files due to this miscommunication with customers. Am not sure how Yahoo! can resolve this.

  • Answer:

    Yahoo should allow us access to Briefcase at least through today if not also through tomorrow since there is no such date as Tuesday, March 30, 2009. Plus they stated that AFTER (not ON) this date we would not be able to access our Briefcase files. I also suggest that today we flood Yahoo customer service (1-866-562-7219) with phone calls about our outrage over this Briefcase closure confusion in an effort to encourage them to allow us one or two days more access to our Briefcase files. We should all at least give it a try. Come on people. . . there is strength in numbers!

You should have downloaded the files sooner. I am just saying it know it's too late and you are probably mad. Possibly where Yahoo! operates from it is already March 31... Back when Yahoo! briefcase's 30 MB was lots of space, but since Yahoo! mail is now unlimited that's nothing. However it was good to have a place to share files. They should have made Yahoo! briefcase have more space an continue it. If it actually isn't the 31st where are then they are in the wrong. Either way I want Yahoo! briefcase to be back, but I still prepared for it's closing ASAP.

They can admit there mistake and extend the timeline for 30 days for all files they are able to recover! If anyone discovers additonnal info please visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Briefcase and ADD the content to the listing there. Until a google etc. groups is setup it's the next best thing to a homepage for this topic. please use http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yahoo!_Briefcase&action=history to see content the yahoo friendly censoring goons over there have pushed back away from the front page of the entry. IT's easy to contribute, you don't even have to sign in!

briefcase or lawcase!

The closing date has always been indicated as March 30 which is today. The day of the week was not correct. I agree it said "after" this date which made it a little confusing. But they could also have said that on May 1 you would not be able to access your files which would be technically correct. I would have never taken a chance and waited until the last day. ₪ ɦəlʞɹɐq ₪

Yahoo briefcase has closed it a day early! A lot of users are pissed off - you're not alone. On their own site, it says they will be shutting it down on TUESDAY: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/briefcase/closing/eol01.html . It also says we will only be prohibited from downloading our files AFTER this date (not on this date).
