A method is provided for synchronizing folders between a mobile device and
a second computing device. The method includes initiating a folder
synchronization request between the mobile device and the second
computing device and comparing the folder hierarchy of the mobile device
with the folder hierarchy of the second computing device to ascertain
differences. Information is sent to at least one of the mobile device and
the second computing device as a function of the ascertained differences
between the folder hierarchies. The mobile device or second computing
device uses the information to modify its folder hierarchy.
