sending, by the electronic device, an identifier to the at least one other electronic device, the identifier enabling the at least one other electronic device to obtain the at least one item via a wireless network; and enabling, by the electronic device, transfer of the at least one item to the at least one other electronic device after an interaction with the identifier at one or more of the electronic device or the at least one other electronic device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the identifier comprises a link. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the identifier enables the at least one other electronic device to obtain the at least one item via a web-based system or service. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the identifier enables the at least one other electronic device to obtain the at least one item via a cloud-based service. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the identifying is based on at least one criterion. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the identifying is based on a predictive technique. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the identifying is based on a relationship of a user of the electronic device. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the relationship comprises a family relationship. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the relationship comprises a friendship. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the relationship comprises a business relationship. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic device comprises a mobile device. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one other electronic device comprises a mobile device. ### Claim 13 An electronic device comprising: a memory; and at least one processor configured to: identify at least one item on the electronic device that is likely to be shared with at least one other electronic device, wherein the at least one item is identified without receiving a request for the at least one item from the at least one other electronic device; send an identifier to the at least one other electronic device, wherein the identifier enables the at least one other electronic device to obtain the at least one item via a wireless network; and enable transfer of the at least one item to the at least one other electronic device after an interaction with the identifier at one or more of the electronic device or the at least one other electronic device. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the identifier comprises a link. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the identifier enables the at least one other electronic device to obtain the at least one item via a web-based system or service. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the identifier enables the at least one other electronic device to obtain the at least one item via a cloud-based service. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the at least one processor is configured to identify the at least one item based on at least one criterion. ### Claim 18 (depends on 13) The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the at least one processor is configured to identify the at least one item based on a predictive technique. ### Claim 19 (depends on 13) The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the at least one processor is configured to identify the at least one item based on a relationship of a user of the electronic device. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The electronic device of claim 19, wherein the relationship comprises a family relationship. ### Claim 21 (depends on 19) The electronic device of claim 19, wherein the relationship comprises a friendship. ### Claim 22 (depends on 19) The electronic device of claim 19, wherein the relationship comprises a business relationship. ### Claim 23 (depends on 13) The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the electronic device comprises a mobile device. ### Claim 24 (depends on 13) The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the at least one other electronic device comprises a mobile device. ### Claim 25 A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising computer executable instructions, which when executed, cause an electronic device to perform operations comprising: identifying at least one item on an electronic device that is likely to be shared with at least one other electronic device, wherein the at least one item is identified without receiving a request for the at least one item from the at least one other electronic device; sending an identifier to the at least one other electronic device, the identifier enabling the at least one other electronic device to obtain the at least one item via a wireless network; and enabling transfer of the at least one item to the at least one other electronic device after an interaction with the identifier at one or more of the electronic device or the at least one other electronic device. ### Claim 26 (depends on 25) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 25, wherein the identifier comprises a link. ### Claim 27 (depends on 25) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 25, wherein the identifier enables the at least one other electronic device to obtain the at least one item via a web-based system or service. ### Claim 28 (depends on 25) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 25, wherein the identifier enables the at least one other electronic device to obtain the at least one item via a cloud-based service. ### Claim 29 (depends on 25) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 25, wherein the identifying is based on at least one criterion. ### Claim 30 (depends on 25) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 25, wherein the identifying is based on a predictive technique. ### Claim 31 (depends on 25) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 25, wherein the identifying is based on a relationship of a user of the electronic device. ### Claim 32 (depends on 31) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 31, wherein the relationship comprises a family relationship. ### Claim 33 (depends on 31) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 31, wherein the relationship comprises a friendship. ### Claim 34 (depends on 31) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 31, wherein the relationship comprises a business relationship. ### Claim 35 (depends on 25) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 25, wherein the electronic device comprises a mobile device. ### Claim 36 (depends on 25) The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 25, wherein the at least one other electronic device comprises a mobile device.
