Hello everyone,  
In case internet won t be accessible during our future survey that will take place in remote areas, and for backup, I would like to know how to transfer my fulfilled questionnaires in my tablet to a computer (PC I suppose).  
We tried using a sd card but we experiences difficulties ( I m more Mac user and then not very handy on pc).  
question1= can we use a cable from a tablet to a pc to recuperate our questionnaires and how?  
question2= can we use a sd card in the tablet to recuperate our questionnaires and how?  
Thank you for your help,  
Aline

Welcome to the ODK forum, @alinephilibert ! We're glad you're here. When you get a chance, please [introduce yourself on this forum thread](https://forum.getodk.org/t/-/6671). I'd also encourage you to add a real picture as your avatar because it helps build community!

> [ODK Briefcase](https://docs.getodk.org/briefcase-intro/) is a desktop application that runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. It is used for pulling, pushing, and exporting forms on ODK servers such as ODK Central and ODK Aggregate. **You can also use Briefcase to pull forms directly from ODK Collect.**

Here's the documentation specifically on getting data from ODK Collect: [https://docs.getodk.org/briefcase-using/#pull-from-collect](https://docs.getodk.org/briefcase-using/#pull-from-collect)

Can you read through that and let us know if you have specific questions about the process?
