Introduction to Data sync

Data sync allows users to share data across multiple devices using Pix4Dfields with multiple devices or using Pix4Dfields and ParrotFields (part of the Parrot Bluegrass Fields bundle).

Note: Data sync differs from using Pix4Dcloud to share Pix4Dfields results. Data sync allows you to share data between multiple devices. Pix4Dcloud allows you to upload images for processing or to upload local results. For more information about how to process or share results on Pix4Dcloud: New dataset.

How to turn on Data sync?

Click/tap the SETTINGS button on Pix4Dfields (on the PC) and ParrotFields (on the tablet), and activate Synchronization.
