1. A method of transferring data from a first mobile device associated with a first user to another device for sharing with at least a second mobile device associated with a second user that is different from the first user, the method comprising:
- the first mobile device automatically predicting that at least one item stored on the first mobile device is likely to be shared with the second mobile device according to at least one criterion, wherein the automatic prediction is performed prior to one or more operations for transferring data to the second mobile being initiated;
the first mobile device selecting, based on the automatic prediction, the at least one item to be shared with at least another device, the another device being intermediate to the first mobile device and the second mobile device; and
the first mobile device transferring at least a portion of data associated with the at least one item to a shared space being displayed on the another device, the shared space being accessible by both the first mobile device and the second mobile device to respectively share data with other devices associated with other users and to obtain data from the shared space, where the data has been has been shared by one or more of the other devices, and wherein the shared space visually distinguishes data transferred from the first mobile device from data transferred from the second mobile device.

8. A first mobile device associated with a first user for transferring data from the first mobile device to another device for sharing with at least a second mobile device associated with a second user that is different from the first user, the first mobile device comprising:
-
a display; memory; and a processor, wherein the processor is to; automatically predict that at least one item stored on the first mobile device is likely to be shared with the second mobile device according to at least one criterion, wherein the automatic prediction is performed prior to one or more operations for transferring data to the second mobile being initiated; select, based on the automatic prediction, the at least one item to be shared with at least another device, the another device being intermediate to the first mobile device and the second mobile device; transfer one or more portions of data associated with the at least one item to a shared space being displayed on the another device, the shared space being accessible by both the first mobile device and the second mobile device to respectively share data with other devices associated with other users and to obtain data from the shared space, where the data has been has been shared by one or more of the other devices, and wherein the shared space visually distinguishes data transferred from the first mobile device from data transferred from the second mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising computer executable instructions for transferring data from a first mobile device associated with a first user to another device for sharing with at least a second mobile device associated with a second user that is different from the first user, the computer executable instructions comprising instructions for:
-
the first mobile device automatically predicting that at least one item stored on the first mobile device is likely to be shared with the second mobile device according to at least one criterion, wherein the automatic prediction is performed prior to one or more operations for transferring data to the second mobile being initiated; the first mobile device selecting, based on the automatic prediction, the at least one item to be shared with at least another device, at least one item stored on the first mobile device to be shared with at least another device, the another device being intermediate to the first mobile device and the second mobile device; and the first mobile device transferring at least a portion of data associated with the at least one item to a shared space being displayed on the another device, the shared space being accessible by both the first mobile device and the second mobile device to share data with devices associated with other users and to obtain data from the shared space, where the data has been has been shared by one or more of the other devices, and wherein the shared space visually distinguishes data transferred from the first mobile device from data transferred from the second mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
