Terminal and server performing data synchronization

A synchronization method of a terminal for performing synchronization with a server connected through a network, the synchronization method comprising:

• generating first synchronization information comprising a file identifier and meta information of at least one file and an originating device of the file, stored in the terminal;
• receiving, from the server, second synchronization information comprising a file identifier and meta information of at least one file and an originating device of the file, stored in the server;
• determining a target file that is to be synchronized by identifying preset synchronization information, and comparing the identified preset synchronization information of the first synchronization information and the second synchronization information;
• and
• synchronize the determined target file with one of the first synchronization information and the second synchronization information,
• wherein the synchronized files are stored in at least one folder created automatically according to at least one meta information set as the synchronization condition in the terminal and the server, based on different criteria including at least on of items included in the meta information.

A terminal for performing synchronization with a server connected through a network, the terminal comprising:

• at least one processor configured to:
• identify one or more file creation dates of at least one file stored in the terminal,
• generate a first graphic object corresponding to a first creation date in a user interface and selecting at least one file stored in the terminal corresponding to the first creation date in order to synchronize the at least one file with the server,
• control a display of the user interface and selecting a portion of the at least one file corresponding to the first creation date, and
• synchronize the selected at least one file corresponding to the first user interface,
• wherein synchronization of the target file comprises storing the selected at least one file in a first folder in the terminal, and
• wherein the first folder is created based on first creation date.

A method, in a terminal, for performing synchronization with a server connected to the terminal through a network, the method comprising:

• identifying one or more file creation dates of at least one file stored in the terminal;
• generating a first graphic object corresponding to a first creation date in a user interface and selecting at least one file stored in the terminal corresponding to the first creation date in order to synchronize the at least one file with the server;
• controlling a display of the user interface and selecting a portion of the at least one file corresponding to the first creation date;
• and
• synchronizing the selected at least one file corresponding to the first user interface,
• wherein synchronization of the target file comprises storing the selected at least one file in a first folder in the terminal, and
• wherein the first folder is created based on first creation date.
