Android system integration with a zeroconf based connection
Mobile phones are a part of our daily life. Since they their capabilities to process multimedia and document files increased we have to synch our files with them. But this isn't done perfectly yet, at this time a single program or a mounted filesystem is the bridge to this devices.
My idea is a synch system which integrates in the whole os. For example, a share button which gives the possibility to upload a file on a connected android based device or sms in the instant messenger.
The first goal could be the file synch, which should be really easy done.
To connect the phone we could use the zeroconf protocol to set up the connection.

If the elementary account comes true in the near future we could be able to link the phone with the account to the computer.
In Android it would be possible to add an account plugin, which enables features like direct upload or gps sharing. I don't know, how such a thing would be possible on ios.
Someone is working on GPS sharing for android: https:/
For iOS support we could use Pushbullet, but it works with a google or facebook account.
