To manually synchronize your QGIS project, you will need a portable
version of your QGIS project file (.qgs, .qgz). Portable means that all paths are relative and datasets are reachable from the device.
🖥️ Desktop preparation
Check that
Project > Properties > General > Save paths
is set to Relative and that all required data
files are in the same folder like the QGIS project file or in a subfolder.
