Abstract
The invention discloses a solution for synchronization of media items between a mobile terminal and another terminal device. The metadata structure (and metadata associations to media items) in the mobile terminal is updated based on the categorization work a user does in the storage system in assigning files to folders. Correspondingly, media items are rearranged in the storage system based on new metadata assignments in the mobile terminal. A media item refers e.g. to a digital picture, a sound clip, a video clip etc.
