The very latest news from the giant search engine Yahoo is that it is going to shut off its online storage facility very soon. All yahoo users have been asked to clear and remove the files stored in Yahoo’s online store box on or before March 10th. Well, having said that, the majority of users do not find it a great difference in this move of yahoo, since it is hard to find a few who use this facility this time around.

The main drawback of Yahoo online briefcase was that they never bothered expanding or enhancing the facilities of storage. It was the old 30MB storage and there are much better facilities available. Yahoo initiated this storage stuff around 10 years back, and they have not simply adapted to the changes happening in the online media. In fact, people do not find this news surprising.

The official statement of reason by Yahoo says that this facility has been over looked by the users and Yahoo do not find any point in continuing this. They admit that the service is incredibly low, and it gives clear implications of the fact that, they cannot afford continuing this in these trying times. The news that had to be read in conjunction with this is, Google is all set to go for its own online storage media.
