Qfield photo location

system · 14 May 2025 02:47

Hello everyone. I have a qgis project, which I export via wire with qfieldsync. In one of my tables I have a field that is photos, which is set to attachment. The problem is that no matter how much I configure the path and the name of the file, relative to the project, it saves the images under the name DCIM-timestamp.jpg and in the directory /Android/data/ch.opengis.qfield/Imported Projects/ files/projectname/DCIM.
I want to know if it is possible to save the photos taken by the tablet in a different location.

Hi FatimaCaballeroIC,

Did you have a look at the doc?
Maybe you will find your answer in here, Configurable picture path.

Please tell me if it helps.

Best
