How to cloudify your QField project - from your phone
2026-07-02 , A02

With the most recent upgrade to QField 4.0, it is suddenly possible to cloudify any project from QField from any smart device.
In this workshop the participant will start in QField, not QGIS, collect data in the field and only then synchronize it with the desktop.

Participants will learn how to:

  • create and edit their own QGIS project
  • optimally configure attribute forms
  • cloudify their projects to QFieldCloud
  • manage teams in QFieldCloud
  • capture data using a mobile device and synchronize it back to the cloud.

Together, we'll start out in the field no matter what the weather is doing and will collect some data. Following, you will cloudify your project with QFieldCloud – the cloud service that enables seamless connectivity between desktop and mobile devices - and synchronize it to QGIS on your desktop. You'll learn how to create your own datasets and design attribute forms for optimal user-friendliness on smartphones and tablets.

You'll receive a total insight into the possibilities for team management in QFieldCloud and learn how to avoid common configuration errors.

Join us and discover how easy mobile data collection can be with QField and QFieldCloud!

Participants are asked to already have an account at app.qfield.cloud.
