Windows My Briefcase icon

In Microsoft Windows, My Briefcase or Briefcase is a special folder that allows the user to copy and synchronize copies of files between multiple computers. For example, if you had a desktop and a laptop computer that shared the same files, you can use the Briefcase to store and synchronize the files between computers. The picture shows the original My Briefcase icon used in Windows 95. The Briefcase feature was available in Windows 95, 98, XP, Vista, 2000, and 7. In Windows 8, 10, and 11, the Briefcase feature is no longer supported.
