Verbindung zu QFieldCloud über QGIS Desktop¶
Desktop Vorbereitung
Für eine Verbindung mit QFieldCloud, benötigst du das Plugin "QFieldSync" in QGIS. Die nächsten Schritte zeigen Ihnen, wiedie Erweiterung installiert wird und Daten von und zu QFieldCloud synchronisiert werden können.
Installation von QFieldSync¶
Öffne den QGIS-Erweiterungsmanager über das Menü Plugins -> Plugins verwalten und installieren....
Find QFieldSync in the list of plugins and install the latest version by clicking the Install Plugin button.
Note
Since QFieldCloud is still in beta phase, there are frequent updates and fixes. Please upgrade your QFieldSync plugin often. In case of an issue, please try upgrading to the latest release before reporting.
Nach der erfolgreichen installation, erscheint eine neue Werkzeugleiste:
Einloggen in QFieldCloud¶
Click the cloud icon 
in the QFieldSync toolbar.
A new login screen will appear:
Enter your credentials previously created during account registration.
Note
If you use a password in QGIS for the first time, it will ask you to set a master password that manages all the other passwords used in QGIS. More information about the master password here: QGIS documentation
Explore the projects overview screen: your current user underlined and blue, a logout button down-left, a cloud button to create a new project and, on the right, a refresh button to grab the freshest project list. Newly registered users will see an empty table and as soon as they create new projects, the list will grow. The projects overview screen looks like this:
The icons indicate the cloud and local status of the different projects.
Lokaler Status:
indicates that there is only a remote cloud project existing.
indicates that the cloud project is also locally stored.
Cloud Status:
Red: status failed —> the project is invalid and is not understood by the cloud. The user needs to fix/upload their .qgs/.qgz project. Brown: status busy —> we are working on your project, please be patient. You cannot do much with the project in the meanwhile. Green: status ok —> the project is successfully undestood by the cloud. You can try to download on QField, but the success is not guaranteed.
The status of each project is shown with a tooltip.
By double-clicking on a project in the list, you can see and edit the specific project properties.
Erstellen und Einrichten eines Cloud-Projektes¶
Create a new project by clicking the cloud button, down-left. First, you will need to choose how to create the new project between
- "Convert currently open project to cloud project" A new QFieldCloud-compatible project is created from the currently opened QGIS project. In order to do so, datasets will be copied into an export directory that will act as your local mirror. Vector datasets will be converted to geopackage format to facilitate data synchronization from multiple devices while other dataset types will be copied to the new project lotation.
To convert a current project, a completely empty directory is mandatory.
- "Erstelle ein neues, leeres QFieldCloud-Projekt" A new blank QFieldCloud project will be created. You will be responsible to move all the project-related files within the selected local directory, with the project file at its root. Project files will only be uploaded when you click the synchronize button. Make sure the selected contains no more than one QGIS project file.
In einem Formular wirst du nach Projektname, Beschreibung und lokalem Verzeichnis gefragt. Im lokalen Verzeichnis kannst du verschiedene Situationen vorfinden:
- Der eingegebene Pfad enthält noch keine QGIS-Projektdatei.
- Der eingegebene Pfad enthält eine QGIS-Projektdatei.
- Please select local directory where the project to be stored.
- The entered path is a relative path. Please enter an absolute directory path.
- The entered path is not an directory. Please enter a valid directory path.
- The entered path is not an existing directory. It will be created after you submit this form.
- Multiple project files have been found in the directory. Please leave exactly one QGIS project in the root directory.
Configure your project layers for QField¶
Configure the project layers by clicking the fifth icon in the QFieldSync toolbar 
. Here you can configure QFieldCloud layer actions. Most of the time you need to configure a preference either to online or offline layers. For more fine grained control, in the advanced settings you can configure the action layer by layer. Get more information about how to configure your layers in the Get Started guide for QFieldSync.
It is recommended to use GeoPackage layers for collaborative editing. See the advanced setup guide for more information about vector formats support.
Note
If you use experimental data sources without a primary key field (e.g. Shapefiles, GeoJSON etc), you must have a lowercase fid field that will be used as a primary key that uniquely identifies each feature.
Any QField supported raster and vector layer formats may be used as read-only data.
Ein Projekt hochladen¶
Once configured, you can press the cloud button to open the synchronization dialog. Here you have to decide what do you prefer: the local file or the file on the cloud.
Now you should see your project and files on QFieldCloud

Installation von QField¶
Download and install the latest version of QField from the play store. Scroll to the bottom and enable beta testing. Do not use this version in production!
Note
Since QField 2.0 is still in beta phase, there are regular updates and fixes at least on a weekly basis. Please upgrade your experimental QField at least once a week. In case of an issue, please try to reproduce on the latest release before reporting.

Synchronise your changes¶
Make a change to your project. Either create a new feature, delete a feature, or modify the geometry or attributes. Open the blue cloud button on the top left of the screen:
Choose an action with the change you made to your project. Each of the actions have an explanation what you should expect to happen:
Your changes are now available to everyone who has access to your project on the cloud.
