ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for continuously synchronizing data to and from a removable memory source connected to a user's handheld device. When the memory source is inserted into the handheld device, the device queries the memory source to determine whether the memory source is associated with the device or with an online service associated with the device. Upon determining that the memory source is associated with the device, the device exposes the memory source to the online service and allows read and write access to the online service. Upon determining that the memory source is not associated with the device, the device further checks to determine whether the user seeks to associate the memory source with the device. If the user chooses not to do so, the user is allowed to view and modify the contents of the memory source without synchronizing data to and from the online service.
