Adding files to the project in Trimble Sync Manager

You can add files to the project in Trimble Sync Manager from a folder located on a network drive or your local drive.

If a file you have added to the project is incorrect or incomplete (for example, a list of points in a CSV file), you can delete the file from the Reference files tab of the Project properties screen and then add it back. As long as the file has the same file name as the file you deleted, the cloud icon on the controller will indicate there are changes to the job to be downloaded.

To add files to the project in Trimble Sync Manager

  1. In the Project properties screen, select the Reference tab. The tab shows the files in the Trimble Connect project.

  2. To add files to the project, you must first select the folder in the Project files list to upload the files to. (The icon is grayed out until you select a folder.)
    • If you are uploading system files, select the project folder, not a folder inside the project folder.
    • To add a new folder, select the parent folder and then click and click .
  3. To add individual files, click and then click . Browse to the location of the files and select them.
  4. To add all the files in a folder located on a network drive or your local drive:
    1. Click and then click .

    2. Browse to the location of the folder and select it. Click Select Folder.

      All files inside the folder and any folders within that folder are added.

  5. For files that must be downloaded to Trimble Access with the project, click the gray link next to the file name to change the link color to orange .

     

    • Team members using Trimble Access version 2021.11 and earlier can only download files that have an orange link next to the file name.

    • Team members using Trimble Access version 2021.20 and later can select and download files that have gray links if they choose. However changing the link color of important files to orange in Trimble Sync Manager is useful to make sure required files are not missed and to streamline the download process in the field.

    • Project reference files uploaded to the Trimble Connect cloud project using Trimble Sync Manager version 1.4.63 and earlier that are not attributed do not show in Trimble Access version 2021.20 and cannot be downloaded.
