Folder synchronization
First Claim
1. A method of synchronizing folders between a mobile device and a second computing device, the method comprising:
- initiating a folder synchronization request between the mobile device and the second computing device;
comparing the folder hierarchy of the mobile device with the folder hierarchy of the second computing device to ascertain differences;
sending information to at least one of the mobile device and the second computing device, the information being a function of the ascertained differences between the folder hierarchies; and
using the information to modify at least one of the folder hierarchy of the mobile device and the folder hierarchy of the second computing device.
