Do people still use brief cases anymore?

I see few if any. Since most documents are on a laptop, cloud, or flash-drive.
I'm mid-60s and recently switched to a backpack for my laptop(s), charging cables, etc. Never thought I'd ever do that, but glad I did.
Tossed my last brief case in 1980

When I worked at a printing company as a student back in the 80s there was an executive there who brought a briefcase into work every day but it didn’t have any work materials in it, he used it to bring candy bars to work! 
They called him Chocolate Bar Charlie

Never owned a briefcase. I think they died with the laptop. My boss used to carry one. Even he dumped his at least 10 years ago.
I would bet money in another 10 years they will be vintage and they will want a small fortune for any that are left.

I still have mine. I don't use it much other that file storage, but I would not hesitate if I needed it.
I dunno why but I never cared for backpacks.

I doubt you will see back packs being used by high management in large companies and brief cases being used instead.
You actually do when you travel for business.
See that in the corner against the table ?
This is me (CEO) smirking at my VP Sales, across from my Japenese CEO counterparts at a launch event this week at the US Embassy in Tokyo.
Saw plenty of backpacks on lots of high powered business people this week.
Leaves two hands free when traveling through buildings for work and events like from the business center to the residence..
Maybe his lunch?
When I have to pack precision instrument inside a special carrier case yes, but that's not a real suitcase though.
Backpack lets me have 2 hands available for other stuff, like badges, phones, groceries, car door, etc. Suitcase is a waste of my hand for nothing.

They are in the attic - hard-case and open top …
I use a larger backpack when flying (only carry-on) and a smaller (nicer) bp between hotel and office.

I doubt he took his lunch to dinner, but maybe he didnt like the buffet?
Not used anymore at the financial company I work at.
I work with CEO’s, CFO’s and VP’s all the time and backpacks are common. And I’ll add it, if suits or jackets are seen it is not uncommon to see no ties in the room. People are generally more casually dressed nowadays.

Many people are using backpacks but briefcases are around. Just not many traditional ones. Most look like travel bags or satchels.

The cabbage fits so much better
