Photos from QField to Server using WebDAV

complete

Marvin Twachtmann

We would like to store Photos from a QField project directly to a server using WebDAV. This works fine in QGIS, but we need the same functionality in Qfield. If there would be an option in future to do this in QField the same way, that would be a big help for us.

Zsanett Medvei It appears that this feature has now been implemented. It is working as expected for me in QGIS, however, does it require any specific configuration in QField?

I am currently unable to upload photographs to my WebDAV server. Would you be able to provide some guidance or documentation on the steps required to make this work?

We'd be interested in this feature too and could sponsor a modest contribution. However, we would not need WebDAV support but S3 storage. The whole thing should then not only work in QFiled but also in QWC2. At least reading attachments. In other words, consultation with Sourcepole and Opengis would still be good. What can I do to help the feature pick up momentum?

We (Oslandia) secured some funding for the development of this feature, but still are a bit short for a green light. Should you be interested in helping fund this topic, get in touch and it will see light !

Also would be super helpful, when vice versa, to download QFIELD project files (folders or ZIPs) from WebDav to mobile phone.

Jakob Kopec , that functionality is now a reality in QField 3.5, give it a try (you'll find the relevant UI/UX by clicking on the local data picker button on the home screen and then clicking on the (+) button located at the lower-right end of the screen you've entered).

Mathieu Pellerin do you have any info on how to get this working please? https://www.reddit.com/r/QGIS/s/TNnJxwmXD1

SB For download and upload to work correctly:
The WebDAV server must be accessible via HTTPS. Connections over plain HTTP will be rejected.
The items you want to download must be located in a folder inside the WebDAV root directory (the root URL).
When downloading, the project will be copied into the Imported Projects folder on the phone.
To keep synchronization working, you must leave the project in this folder and keep exactly the same folder/file structure on both the phone and the WebDAV server.
Upload (sending changes) seems to work only on Android, while download works on both Android and iOS.

Adikte Thanks so much for the details on getting this working. I'll hopefully be able to test again this week.
