How to Transfer R1 Data to a Computer

Overview

Transferring R1 project data from a smart device to a computer lets you back up your work, open projects in Stitch or prepare them for updates. The right method depends on your device and computer pairing — iOS to MacBook, iOS to Windows, Android to Windows, or Android to MacBook.

This guide covers each combination step by step, plus quick troubleshooting if Stitch can't open the project or the PLANIX folder isn't visible.

Troubleshooting
