Dear QGIS Community,
I am a beginner in QGIS and QField (Version 3.44 in QGIS).
I have a problem exporting shapefiles or GeoPackages from QField back into
my QGIS project. I am using a cable connection for the transfer.
I was able to transfer the project from my PC to my tablet and carry out
fieldwork. I can see the results on the map in QField.
I follow the instructions I found and export the entire folder from my
tablet back to my PC. I then import (drag and drop) the GPKG into the
original project. The symbology, etc. is transferred, but none of the
results of my fieldwork appear—meaning the objects digitized in the field
are missing.
Then I used the following method:
*Using QFieldSync *
1. Preparation: Open the original QGIS project that was packaged for
QField.
2. Use the plugin: Go to Plugins > QFieldSync > Synchronize from QField.
3. Select folder: Choose the local folder on your computer to which you
copied the QField folder from your mobile device.
4. Synchronize: Click “Synchronize” to import the modified shapefiles
back into the QGIS project.
I receive an error message.

What am I doing wrong? Who can help me?
Thank you.
