detecting a gesture on the screen; and
sending the file to a destination in response to the detecting.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the file is a photo.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the gesture is a swiping motion.
4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising an image displayed on the screen having a bottom, wherein the detecting the swiping motion comprises detecting a motion from any location on the screen moving away from the bottom of the displayed image.
5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the destination has been pre-selected.
6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the destination comprises one or more destinations.
7 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the swiping motion is in a first direction and the file is sent to a first destination.
8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the swiping motion is in a second direction and the file is sent to a second destination.
9 . A method for transferring a file from a device, comprising:
displaying a file on a screen of the device;
detecting a gesture on the screen;
displaying a plurality of destinations on the screen in response to the detecting;
detecting a selection of one destination; and
sending the file to the selected destination.
10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the file is a photo.
11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the gesture is a swiping motion.
12 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of destinations are displayed in rows on the screen.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the detecting the selection of the destination comprises detecting a tap on one of the destinations.
14 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of destinations are displayed in the periphery of the display screen.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the detecting the selection of the destination comprises detecting a swiping motion towards one of the destinations.
16 . The method of claim 9 , wherein one of the plurality of destinations comprises multiple destinations.
17 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to transfer a file to a destination, by performing the steps of:
displaying the file on a screen of a device;
detecting a gesture on the screen; and
sending the file to a destination in response to the detecting.
18 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the file is a photo.
19 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 18 , wherein the gesture is a swiping motion.
20 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 19 , further comprising an image displayed on the screen having a bottom, wherein the detecting the swiping motion comprises detecting a motion from any location on the screen moving away from the bottom of the displayed image.
21 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 19 , wherein the destination has been pre-selected.
22 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 21 , wherein the destination comprises one or more destinations.
23 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 19 , wherein the swiping motion is in a first direction and the file is sent to a first destination.
24 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 23 , wherein the swiping motion is in a second direction and the file is sent to a second destination.
25 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to transfer a file to a destination, by performing the steps of:
displaying the file on a screen of a device;
detecting a gesture on the screen;
displaying a plurality of destinations on the screen in response to the detecting;
detecting a selection of one of the destinations; and
sending the file to the selected destination.
26 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 25 , wherein the file is a photo.
27 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 26 , wherein the gesture is a swiping motion.
28 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 25 , wherein the plurality of destinations are displayed in rows on the screen.
29 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 28 , wherein the detecting the selection of the destination comprises detecting a tap on one of the destinations.
30 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 25 , wherein the plurality of destinations are displayed in the periphery of the screen.
31 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 30 , wherein the detecting the selection of the destination comprises detecting a swiping motion toward one of the destinations.
32 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 25 , wherein the one of the destinations comprises one or more destinations.
