Abstract
In a synchronization system, the present invention provides an improved user interface through which a user can view and manage settings associated with the user'"'"'s account in the synchronization system. In the preferred embodiment, a column is displayed for each electronic device associated with the user'"'"'s account in the synchronization system. In each column is a visual representation of items (e.g., folders) that are (1) backed up, remotely accessible and/or synchronized in the synchronization system and (2) located on the electronic device associated with such column. For each item that is synchronized across multiple devices, all the visual representations of such item in the columns are aligned across a single row in the interface. In the preferred embodiment, there is an arrow, or other visual indicator, between the visual representations of such items to indicate that the items are synchronized.
