Sometimes you want to browse and interact with projects in the Data Exchange in QGIS, but without downloading those projects as local files. Alternatively, you might want to view a project and would otherwise use the [Web Viewer](/software-help/help-web), but you want to contextualize a project alongside other data that you have on your computer.

The **Remote Projects** feature (new in version 1.1) makes it possible to connect to a project on the Data Exchange and view any of its layers (raster and vector) using tile services that will stream only the information needed to display what you've selected in the visible area of your map window. This can be useful when you are interested in a small portion of a very large project. Once you have loaded a remote project, if you do need to do further analysis and want the local files, the viewer context menu makes it easy to [**download**](qgis-downloader) the project either in its entirety, or selectively choosing specific layers.

Unless it was sent to you, the easiest way to do that is to browse the Riverscapes Data Exchange at [data.riverscapes.net](https://data.riverscapes.net) and use the powerful search features.

- Web map tiles are essentially PNG images served over the internet. You cannot perform analysis on these tiles. They are merely for display. Download the project if you want to work with the data directly, such as filtering or geoprocessing.

With the Riverscapes Viewer for QGIS you can upload riverscapes projects into the [Riverscapes Data Exchange](https://data.riverscapes.net). This feature is intended for uploading a single riverscapes project at a time. You should use the [Riverscapes Command Line Interface](https://docs.riverscapes.net/products/rscli) (rscli) if your goal is to upload more than a handful of projects. The uploader can be used both to upload a new project, or to make changes to an existing project. It allows selective uploading of specific files.
