Add a layer outside of exported project folder¶

In a QField project it is possible to use a layer outside the project folder, like a basemap.

It is useful if a basemap is used in all your project, no need to copy it everytime in the project folder.

In QGIS, open « Options » –> « Data Sources » –> « Localized Data Paths » There add the path to the folder where are the external data.

To make it works in the device, add the layers in the folder <device root>/QField/basemaps
