Choosing to upload or download only some files

Usually when downloading projects from or uploading data to Trimble Connect you will download or upload all modified files to ensure that all of the latest information is on both the controller and in Trimble Connect.

Occasionally, you may choose to skip downloading or uploading individual files, for example if you have large files, such as a large scan file, that you do not want to transfer from the field and will update once you return to the office.

Skipping files when downloading or uploading jobs

To select the files to download from or upload to the cloud:

  1. In the Jobs page, select the job and then tap and select Download or Upload.

    The Download or Upload screen appears, showing the name, type, and size of each file that will be synchronized.

  2. To skip downloading or uploading a file, tap the name of the file and select Skip this file. The icon next to the file changes from or to or , to indicate that the file will be skipped. You can download or upload the file later when you have returned to the office.

  3. Tap Download or Upload to update the selected files.

    Files you have selected to skip have a icon next to them and will not be synchronized until you choose to do so. See Managing file conflicts.

File sync status

The cloud icons next to the file names in the Download or Upload screen indicate the sync status of each file. If you do not want to automatically sync all files, or if there are file conflicts to resolve, tap the name of the file and then select the most appropriate action.
