How to add form manually to Collect, If you can't see /odk/forms folder

Support
1

Hi All;
I need a help.
before i was using ODK with smasung tablet which was quite ok, now I just
bought a new Sony SGPT111MY and would like to add my ODK form manually
while browsing the USB storage of the tablet on my Desktop PC with
windows OS. I can find /odk aned even /odk/instances but can't see
/odk/forms...
I added manually a /odk/new folder and then tried to change the name
to /odk/forms
but can't. I also check the option in Windows OS "show hidden files" is
checked and "Hide protected OS files" is unchecked. So wondering, if this
is only me who is facing the problem or anyone else also gone through the
trouble? Would obliged if can have some advice from you guys.

What happens if you create a forms directory on windows and drag or
cut-and-paste that directory folder onto your /odk directory ?

thanks Mitch,
Problem solved :slight_smile:
After installing ODK, if you can't find /odk/forms then restart your tablet
and check again.
