The problem I have is when I move the briefcase to the flash and try to open later at home th files are either orphaned, or not there at all. If I just copy the files, they are on the flash, but as we all know, I cannot sync between flash and PC. Suggestions?

I ordered a 2GB flash drive a few days ago and this sounds interesting. However, I have no Briefcase option on the New menu, nor is there any mention of it in Add/Remove Windows Components under Add or Remove Programs. I’m running a fully-patched machine, so Windows is completely up to date.

Is there a download from Microsoft to install the Briefcase app? I have no actual Windows CD as I have a Tecra M4 and therefore just the restore CD.

DavidC, keep posting good stuff and I’m sure we’ll be back.

Strange timing, I’ve been doing this for ages yet just yesterday someone at work commented they’d never thought of it.

I like Briefcase as, although basic, it allows you to sync selected folders or individual files and will work on all Windows machines with no software install.

Hey James

Just wanted to stop by and say hello, and thanks for dropping by my site. Hope your readers find it useful.

It’s funny. I use the Briefcase function quite a bit between my notebook and our network. Syncing it with a USB drive makes perfect sense. Never thought of it. Simple makes good.

Thanks for the tip.
