The present invention discloses a method of displaying a sequence for sharing digital data items with a set of recipients using a terminal capable of using at least two communication modes for communicating with the recipients. The method comprises the steps of obtaining a first list of recipients communicating with the terminal according to a first communication mode, obtaining at least one second list of recipients communicating with the terminal according to a second communication mode, displaying on the mobile terminal a representation of each recipient in the lists thus obtained, selecting at least one representation, determining the communication mode to be used according to the representation selected and sending data item to the recipient whose representation was selected according to the determined communication mode. The invention also describes a sharing device adapted to implement the method, in particular a digital camera.
