1. A method of sharing content of an electronic device, the method comprising:
- connecting to an external device configured to share the content with another electronic device;
uploading a first content to the external device; and
downloading a second content from the external device,wherein the uploading of the first content comprises;
determining, if the first content is added to a first folder, whether an upload condition of the electronic device satisfies a first predetermined condition, andtransmitting, if the upload condition satisfies the first predetermined condition, the first content to the external device,wherein the downloading of the second content comprises;
determining whether a download condition of the electronic device satisfies a second predetermined condition and requesting a second updated content of the external device based on a time stamp when a content is lastly downloaded by the electronic device, andreceiving, if it is determined that the download condition of the electronic device satisfies the second predetermined condition, the updated second content from the external device,wherein the external device comprises a storage including a first storage area accessible by an authenticated user and a second storage area accessible by the authenticated user and an unauthenticated user, andwherein, in response to a user of the electronic device being authenticated, the first content is uploaded to the first storage area of the external device and in response to the user of the electronic device not being authenticated, the first content is uploaded to the second storage area of the external device.

23. A method of sharing content of an external device, the method comprising:
-
connecting to a first electronic device and a second electronic device; receiving an updated first content from the first electronic device; storing the updated first content to a predetermined folder and updating an information of the updated first content and a first time stamp indicating an upload time of the updated first content; receiving a request for downloading an updated content from the second electronic device; comparing the information of the updated first content and the first time stamp to content information and a second time stamp that are lastly downloaded by the second electronic device; and transmitting the updated first content to the second electronic device based on a result of the comparing, wherein the external device comprises a storage including a first storage area accessible by an authenticated user and a second storage area accessible by the authenticated user and an unauthenticated user, and wherein, in response to a user of the electronic device being authenticated, the first content is uploaded to the first storage area of the external device and in response to the user of the electronic device not being authenticated, the first content is uploaded to the second storage area of the external device.
