Embodiments may allow access to the received media files to the users through the communication devices. Access may be limited to the media files by membership within a group or other access levels associated with a particular media file or a corresponding media folder. Embodiments may also include receiving a media file in a first format from a transferring communication device, and converting and sending the media file in a second format that is suitable for a requesting communication device.
