QField Version 2.x - It's not possible to use offline basemap on sdcard

[Crapaud04]

It's been a year since I set up an offline visualization solution for vector and raster data over a very large area (1/2 France).

For vectors, it's possible on the tablet (500 mo).
But for rasters how can I do I have 80go orthophoto and 15go scan.
The opening was super fluid and corresponded to my needs and I did the update and everything is broken.

I understand the need to link to file access but for rasters it's only read right ?

Do you have a solution to communicate to me knowing that my tablet fleet is already purchased in 64gb of memory so I cannot transfer my rasters to the internal memory ?

@Crapaud04 , my understanding of your issue is that your device's internal memory where the primary /Android/data/ch.opengis.qfield/files resides doesn't have enough space, is that a proper understanding of your issue?

@Crapaud04 , did you succeed when renaming paths? What is the path where you store your qgs project ?

As you're pointing out there would be better ways to achieve what you want.

[nirvn]

For the record, if your ortho dataset is stored in an absolute path, that means it isn't handled as a "basemap" dataset within a localized path (in our case here your sd card/Android/data/.../files/QField/basemaps)

The path for such basemap would be something like localized:ortho.gpkg

@nirvn Monday I tested the new version 2.x.
And the absolute path of my rasters didn't work.
While the previous version I had no problem.
It was after that that I asked you.

I just hope I can access this file remotely with my MDM.

@Crapaud04 , any update? Were you successful?

[Crapaud04]

@nirvn i update my test tablet is ok but i change my way file in qgs.

But in other modele of adroid tab i acces to sd card directory.

I think samsung lock android sdcard directory.
My problem is partly solved.

For me the solution was to be able to have access to all the sdcard but already it works.
And maybe it will be easier to manage funds with your folder in android/app.
Unless it can do https://docs.qfield.org/fr/how-to/outside-layers/?
If so do you have more screenshots because I couldn't do it.

The delivery of my tablets does not arrive before several months, stock problem.
