What is a briefcase in Windows? What's the role?

Ordinary users know how Microsoft's feelings ~ people have been so many years ago to engage in such a Windows Briefcase synchronization tool ~

Windows Briefcase, introduced from Windows 95, is available to Windows 8, except that this feature is hidden by default in Windows 8, probably because the network is already popular.

In ancient society, there was no Dropbox, no clouds, no internet, no LAN, and no computer network. At this point if you need to bring a file to go out, then you have to copy it to the floppy disk to take out, back to the time of trouble, because you may forget the software files in the corresponding computer files, also forget two files which is the updated version.

So he had a briefcase. Create a new Briefcase folder, drag the files you need to bring into your briefcase, and automatically remember where your files are copied, and then put your briefcase on a floppy disk so you can go out safely.

After a few days, your floppy disk is brought back, this time to plug in the floppy, in the explorer point in the Briefcase, it will automatically compare all the files and source files, and then prompt you which files "need to update." Click Update all, it will tell you that the source files are changed, which is the target file changes, of course, there are other files on both sides have been changed, resulting in a conflict. If it is a folder, it will also detect whether there are new or deleted files in both folders. If you need to replace the new version of the old version, or the conflict file select one of them, or the deleted file selection is not deleted, you can right click on the icon to modify the default behavior, and then click Update.

Now is the Internet and cloud synchronization era, all changed Dropbox, the U disk is not how to use, so Windows 8 default to the Briefcase function hidden. But it was really a very useful feature, it is very convenient to transfer files with a USB stick.

Summarizing the role of briefcase in the Windows operating system is to synchronize files. For example, your desktop has some of your documents in a folder, you build a briefcase in the U disk, pointing to this document. To go out, like with a briefcase, plug the U disk, in the Briefcase Sync, will be updated to the latest version of the document, and then take out to others to demonstrate what. In the outside to modify some documents, or add to delete something, back to plug in the U disk, then sync, the file will automatically sync back to the desktop.
