Abstract
A system, method, and computer program are provided for enabling a user to synchronize, manage, and share files and folders across a plurality of client devices and a synchronization server. In a user interface, a first view displays all folders, which a user has synchronized to the synchronization server and a drop-target zone to which the user is able to drag a folder from the local device to synchronize the folder with the synchronization server. A second view displays all files and folders, which the user has shared with other users. A third view displays a list of user contacts, where each contact is a drop-target zone on which a user is able to drag a folder to share the folder with the contact. A fourth view is provided in which a user is able to see activity related to a folder displayed in the first view.
