1. A computer-implemented method for a user interface that provides contact-based sharing of resources, comprising:
- instantiating a first portion of the user interface to provide a view of resources that are shared by a user with a selected contact; and
instantiating a second portion of the user interface to provide a view of resources that are shared to the user by the selected contact.

Abstract
A centralized user interface provides for sharing resources between a user and a contact that the user interface is centered around. When the user opens the view of the contact record, the user is provided with a section corresponding to resources shared by the user with the contact and another section for resources shared by the contact with the user. Accordingly, a user accesses a single location for sharing resources rather than managing multiple folders or multiple communication between the user and the contact.

21. A system for contact-based sharing of resources, comprising:
a computing device that includes an application for a user interface that is configured to;
instantiate a first portion of the user interface to provide a view of resources that are shared by a user with a selected contact, wherein the resources that are shared by the user with the selected contact remain stored on a computing device associated with the user;
instantiate a second portion of the user interface to provide a view of resources that are shared to the user by the selected contact, wherein the resources that are shared to the user by the selected contact remain stored on a computing device associated with the selected contact; and
utilize the first portion of the user interface as a virtual storage location of shared resources. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
