CartoDruid Device Sync is a QGIS plugin designed to synchronize files between a PC and one or more mobile devices.
It enables fast and efficient data exchange between QGIS projects and the fieldwork tool CartoDruid, without relying on cloud services.

Although focused on CartoDruid projects, the plugin is data-agnostic and can be used to synchronize any folder structure between a mobile device and a PC.
For the time being, the plugin is fully functional on Windows and partially functional on Linux (Only ADB protocol works on Linux).

Communication is performed via:
- ADB (Android Debug Bridge) as the primary transport protocol (currently via cable only).
- MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) as a fallback when ADB is not available.

Key features:
- Automatic detection of CartoDruid projects: scans device folders to locate projects and generate synchronization settings.
- Project configuration synchronization: copies and updates CartoDruid project configuration files.
- Vector data synchronization: synchronizes vector layers and adds them automatically to the QGIS Table of Contents (TOC).
- Georeferenced image synchronization: copies images from the device and incorporates them as geo-tagged photo layers.
- Generic folder synchronization: can synchronize any folder between the device and PC, beyond CartoDruid-specific data.
This plugin enables teams to synchronize field data locally, without relying on cloud services.

External dependencies: The plugin uses the ADB binary. You can download and install the binary using a button in the plugin configuration.
