Download data from and uploading data to the cloud is the simplest method of transferring data to and from the device. When you are signed in to Trimble Connect, projects and jobs that reside in the Trimble Connect cloud collaboration platform and assigned to you appear automatically in the Projects and Jobs screens of the Trimble Access software. Use the Trimble Access software to download projects and jobs to the controller and then upload changes to the cloud. See Projects & jobs.
To sign in to Trimble Connect, you must have configured an Internet connection.
