Note that if you're adding your data directly to a webmap, in the form of a csv or shapefile, you won't be able to download that shapefile. Those edits will only exist in that webmap. Use hosted feature services if you'd like to synchronize updates back with local databases.

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.
