Microsoft shuts down cloud file sharing site, shuts down its Linux competitor

Microsoft will shut down cloud service file sharing website CRS, the company said on Wednesday, but will not shut down the Linux version of its online platform.

The company said in a statement that CRS will no longer operate on Microsoft Azure, its cloud service that it used for the past two years to manage files and other files on the Azure cloud.

Microsoft has said it plans to shut down its CRS cloud service in 2018.
