I have been using Qfield for some years now in a field data collection role. I have a number of tablets operated by field surveyors who collect feature data from the field and return it to base to be merged into a master database.
For a long while, this method worked well using Android 10, but recently, I have had to invest in new tablets that were loaded with Android13 and have had to change my workflow to suit Google’s dictates.
To help get around Googles changes, I export data from Qfield by clicking the three dots relating to a file, then follow the options to export or send the file to a location. This works well as a one off, but when you are doing it several times a day for a number of devices, it gets tedious!
Would it be possible to automate the export/Send to routine so that it can be run automatically to a schedule?

RatInTheField , good news, the automated regular push of changes to QFieldCloud has been implemented for a while now (since QField 3.2.0). You can enable this functionality and set the push interval in the QField panel when configuring your project with qfieldsync plugin:

Hi Mattieu,
Thanks for getting back to me. I think that I did not explain myself well
enough. I am aware of the ability to automate the push function to
QFieldCloud, but would like to be able to automate the Send To function
accessed from QField Menu>Cog>Project Folder>3 dots >‘Send to’ without using
QFieldCloud.
I want to be able to send files to a remote location managed by another app
such as FV File Explorer so that I can send data to my own SSH protected
server. While this is currently possible as an ad-hoc function, repeating
the action many times a day would be boring and risk errors, so I was hoping
that it would be possible to automate and schedule the Send To function to
speed my workflow.
Is this possible? Could it be within your design scope?

RatInTheField I assume this should be doable with a plugin, calling platformUtilities.sendCompressedFolderTo(qgisProject.homePath) at regular intervals or a prominent button.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll try that later.
