Could you please clarity the best way to pull my data back down from the ArcGIS Online cloud? From what i can figure out the best way to make this round trip is to; 1. publish a hosted service 2. make edits to that service in the field 3. pull that service into ArcMap 10.1 4. zoom to full extent so all my data is visible 5. Use the "Create Local Copy for Editing" menu item 6. look at the source info after local copy is created to find the temporary geodatabase created. For example C:\Users\bobsmith\Documents\ArcGIS\FeatureServiceLocalEdits\Test2_Photos\fs44EC24DEB05E4A25919747AC3CB9C379.gdb This seems to be the only way I can get all my data back including the attachments (photos) created in the field. It would seem there should be a better way. It is my data and I need it back to load into our enterprise SDE database when done with field collection. How are you able to view your photo attachments? In the temp gdb there are records in the attachment table that is created. When I added the feature class and attachment table to ArcMap and then Identify a feature or Open the Attributes window when Editing, I can see that there is an attachment in the Attachment Manager. But when I try to open the photo, I receive a message in the Windows Photo Viewer that states "Windows Photo Viewer can't display this picture because the file is empty." I know the photo exists because I can open the Photo_X.jpg link in a web map that contains the feature service. I would appreciate any insight for a solution to this problem. Thank you.
