Neil,You mentioned you're using DropBox, and this is a fairly recent message.I'm trying out that particular option right now but stuck with an error from Collect RC2: "Error Getting Form List:
Form listing failed. ContentType: text/html; http://192.168.2.102:8080/ formList is not text/xml. This is often caused a network proxy. Do you need to login to your network?"Have you ever encountered this and found a solution?Regards,Nik

It has been done using ODK Aggregate for the server side. Aggregate will export CSV files after upload.
Is it easy to set up and reliable? While we are big supporters of the Open Data Kit community and a big believer in their tools, I don't think that Aggregate is all that easy to set up. As we say, "It's easy if you know how." And while older versions of Aggregate were a little wonky, the newest version is pretty stable. You have to watch out for large scale deployments because hosting Aggregate can incur charges on the Google App Engine platform.
The cheapest and easiest way to aggregate is to use KoBoSync or another offline aggregation tool. If it is important that you sync your data to a server (for example, your enumerators are geographically spread out) then there are other solutions. We use an Android DropBox client called "DropSync" that syncs your completed data to a DropBox account in the background.
We would be very interested to hear more about your ideas on a PHP/Ruby solution for aggregation.
thanks for you excellent questions and ideas,
~Neil
Hi Nik,
Dropsync works with your existing DropBox account, but the difference is that the dropbox app on your phone does not let you specify what folder you would like to add (i.e. your “ODK” folder on the phone.). Dropsync does…
Sometime we would like to look further into this and build a KoBocollect that includes a dropsync function.
Best,
Patrick

Nik,You might try Bluetooth File Transfer. That would give you a local wireless connection. Establishing the BT connection, however, would be no quicker than plugging in a USB cable.There are some other options, you could use Android Debug Bridge, which still requires you to plug in a cable but allows you to use the 'pull' command to sync your data without having to mount your SD card. It's makes it fast, if you are comfortable on the command line.
If you don't like command line, or don't want to go to the trouble of using ADB, you can save yourself a couple of clicks and swipes by using an apcollectsp to auto-mount your SDccollectsard when you plug in the cable.
