I have been happily working in the field with QField on my tablet for some years. But now I want to set up a new project from QGIS to QField and find it's all changed. I am unable to transfer as before. I don't want to work via cloud, just simple as before. Can anyone help please ...totally stuck on how to package my project ready for QField |

@lidarlady , I highly recommend you take the time to read the storage access on Android documentation we published recently (https://docs.qfield.org/get-started/storage/), you will likely find the answer you need, and along the way learn about new ways to utilize QField :) More specifically, I think what you are looking for is addressed here (https://docs.qfield.org/get-started/storage/#accessing-imported-content-directly-through-usb-cable), whereas you should copy your prepared project into a subfolder of :/Android/data/ch.opengis.qfield/files/ of your device. |

Thank you for this reply it was interesting to learn about the new security measures from Google restricting file access. I too have struggled to find data for import through the various Import buttons. |

@ntrip6 , Google's new storage restrictions also affect read-only access. The policy aims at protecting people's data, hence why it covers read-only access too (wouldn't be very efficient otherwise :) ) To answer your two points: |
