Hi Melissa. Did you get this sorted?

It’s an excellent feature, that i’ve found problems with initially.

I may be able to help, if you still require it?

Hi EmdamcITE, thank you for replying. I am still stuck, at first I set it up and I could take a picture in qfield but it wasn’t syncing back to qgis. Now I seem to have really confused myself and whilst packaging I have an error winerror5. I can see my file path is c user’s maybe this os the problem. I have tried saving in another folder but it seems to default save in the users. ☹

Hi!

Did you setup an attachment directory in QGIS to which you are saving your images to?

Additionally, in your Attributes Form settings make sure to store paths relative to the project path.

Hope this helps!
