I use it as a synchronization tool while I am travelling.
Actually, I have never used it but will start using it now that I am on the road more often, and working out of a Lap Top.
Plus, I think it is a great way to keep backups of files in more then one place.
I will let you know what I think of it.

Here is Microsoft's explanation of My Briefcase.
Briefcase. One of the problems unique to mobile computing is file synchronization. Typically, a mobile user will copy files from a network server onto a portable PC, edit the files while off the network, and then, upon reconnecting to the network, manually compare file time stamps to determine which files are current. This process is tedious and error prone, and often results in multiple conflicting versions of documents. In Windows 95, files copied to the Briefcase automatically maintain their association with the original files on a
desktop computer or network. When connected to the network or desktop PC, the Briefcase updates all files to the most recent version. |
