This is before usb. It was a dialup synchronizer between your work pc and your home one so that you could keep working on that Word doc.

Wow, I had definitely forgotten about briefcase. I remember clicking on it as a kid but don't specifically recall what happened. There was no work computer for my folks, my mom worked at home (essentially), so I'm pretty sure it did nothing. I do remember being unsure of its function. I was young though so I was unsure about much.

I was at least barely an adult but not a professional so it had no function for me lol

I don’t think this was explicitly network connected? I’m fairly certain the original responder is mostly correct, except it would be a floppy disk instead of a USB drive.
