OSM Uploader #54296

Feature description

Could there please be some way to upload data directly from QGIS to OSM? QGIS is an insanely powerful tool, with insanely powerful plugins and possibilities, and OSM needs edits. The OSM wiki says that to edit on desktops, one needs to use the iD editor (browser 🤷‍♀), or JOSM (Java -_-) — these are problematic options on lower end devices because RAM or disk space. ArcGIS has a plugin to allow one to upload to OSM directly. Yet, ironically, QGIS doesn't. Hence, would it be possible to make it happen? If you give me some guides or links, I can work on it too.

But I do feel it should be a priority as it'll allow low end devices running to easily edit OSM (thus more edits). Thank You.

Hi,

This is not a feature request, neither a bug regarding QGIS. This functionality could rely on a plugin but none exists yet. https://www.google.com/search?q=edit+osm+in+qgis and in particular https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/54017/edit-osm-from-qgis

It was possible a long time ago. (I think QGIS 1, maybe QGIS 2 ?)

This has been stopped because some technical difficulties if I remember correctly. The OSM data model (node, way, relation and its tags) is different than GIS data model (point, line, polygon and attributes).

Tools to get OSM data in QGIS (mainly OGR in the background) can't import all raw data directly into QGIS.

Maybe a easy tool to just add a point (node) would be possible indeed, just with a plugin. I would not expect a proper OSM data editor, low probability to happen without a significant effort.
