  • replicating and mapping a folder structure for files of a user on an Internet-enabled mobile source device of the user and a folder structure of the user on a remote server, said remote server being wirelessly connectable to the mobile device by an Internet connection;

    transferring files between one or more folders on the mobile device and corresponding mapped folders on said remote server;

    requiring only one action by said user of said mobile device to initiate said transfer; and

    distributing the files to one or more recipient devices from said remote server, requiring no further action by users of said recipient devices, by the further steps of;

    extracting one or more recipient device addresses from a contact data organizer on said mobile source device and transferring said recipient device addresses to said remote server;

    associating one or more of said recipient device addresses with each of said files based on the structure of said mapped folders; and

    using said recipient device addresses to distribute said files to one or more recipient devices from said remote server upon the occurrence of a user-selected trigger event.
