Portable project

To manually synchronise your QGIS project, you will need a portable version of your QGIS project file (.qgs, .qgz). Portable means that all paths are relative and datasets are reachable from the device.

Configure a portable project

Desktop preparation

Check that Project > Project Properties > General > Save paths is set to Relative and that all required data files are in the same folder like the QGIS project file or in a subfolder.

You can learn more how to prepare your projects for fieldwork in Get Started with QFieldCloud (recommended) or Get Started with QFieldSync tutorials.
