1. A method in a mobile device comprising a communication interface and a memory, the method comprising:
- transmitting a first instruction from the communication interface to a first computing terminal hosting electronic content, the first instruction including an identifier of a file in the electronic content and a command to transmit the file from the first computing terminal to a server, for storage at the server pending further instruction;
after transmitting the first instruction, transmitting a second instruction from the communication interface to the server, the second instruction including a command to transmit the file from the server to a second computing terminal for storage at the second computing terminal.

Abstract
A method of synchronizing a mobile device with a computing terminal, comprising in a first stage, synchronizing between a server and one of the mobile device and the computing terminal, and in a second stage, synchronizing between the server and the other of the mobile device and the computing terminal, wherein the second stage of synchronizing being permissible only upon verification of an identifier associated with content selected for transfer during the first stage of synchronizing.

4. A method in a server, the server comprising a memory and a communication interface, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first instruction from mobile device at the communication interface, the first instruction including an identifier of a file and a command for causing a first computing terminal hosting electronic content including the file to transmit the file to the server for storage at the server pending further instruction; transmitting the first instruction from the communication interface to the first computing terminal; in response to transmitting the first instruction, receiving the file at the communication interface from the first computing terminal; storing the file in the memory in association with a first identifier; receiving at the communication interface, from the mobile device, a second instruction including a second identifier and a command to transmit the file from the server to a second computing terminal for storage at the second computing terminal; verifying that the second identifier matches the first identifier; and after the verification, transmitting the file from the communication interface to the second computing terminal for storage at the second computing terminal. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 10, 11)

18. A server, comprising:
-
a communication interface; a memory; and a processor interconnected with the communication interface and the memory, the processor configured to; receive a first instruction from a mobile device via the communication interface, the first instruction including an identifier of a file and a command for causing a first computing terminal hosting electronic content including the file to transmit the file to the server for storage at the server pending further instruction; transmit the first instruction via the communication interface to the first computing terminal; in response to transmitting the first instruction, receive the file via the communication interface from the first computing terminal; store the file in the memory in association with a first identifier; receive via the communication interface, from the mobile device, a second instruction including a second identifier and a command to transmit the file from the server to a second computing terminal for storage at the second computing terminal; verify that the second identifier matches the first identifier; and after the verification, transmit the file from the communication interface to the second computing terminal for storage at the second computing terminal. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)
