Where Does Autel Explorer Store Video and Logs?
Where the Autel Explorer app keeps flight logs and video on Android and iPhone, plus drone SD roles.
Last updated
Autel splits media three ways. The drone card holds full quality video. The phone holds manual saves, cached streams, and flight logs. Your Autel account holds synced logs and firmware state.
Manual saves land in the gallery, sometimes under an Autel folder on Android. Full video needs the card reader or USB link. Logs follow dates and serials, so renaming breaks the timeline view. For keeps, pull originals from the card and sync logs before reinstalls. Cache clearing is safe for space but drops previews only.
Where Autel Drone stores this, by platform
/sdcard/DCIM/Autel
Full video stays on the drone microSD. Manual saves land in the gallery. Logs live privately plus Autel cloud when synced. Cache previews are low quality.
Photos/Autel (manual saves, full video on card)
Manual saves go to Photos. Full video stays on the drone card. Logs follow your Autel account when sync is on. Sync before wiping the phone.
Frequently asked questions
Where are my Autel drone videos?
On the drone microSD for full video, in the app album for manual saves and cached previews, and in your Autel account for flight logs when synced. Pull the card or download full files from the album. Cache previews are low quality and not suitable for editing.
Do Autel flight logs sync to the cloud?
Yes, when signed in and sync enabled. The phone holds a local copy in private storage plus shared previews. Exact log names carry dates and drone serials. Upload before wiping, since the card holds video but not the parsed log timeline the app shows.
