Where Does GoPro Quik Store Media?
GoPro Quik keeps camera media, edits, and cloud uploads in your GoPro account with originals on the SD card. Import before formatting.
Last updated
Quik pairs camera storage with cloud backup. Originals record to the microSD card in the GoPro while the app imports, edits, and uploads to GoPro cloud under your subscription. Auto-uploads run on home WiFi with power.
That makes the SD card plus cloud the dual archive: import first, format second. Exact behaviors may vary by version. Cloud originals backfill trimmed edits; keep the SD copy until uploads verify. Auto-uploads resume after interruptions. Cloud edits sync back to mobile. Quik desktop syncs edits too.

Frequently asked questions
How do I offload GoPro footage safely?
Connect the camera over USB or WiFi and import everything to the app and computer first. Verify file counts against the camera roll. Format in-camera afterward, never on a computer, for filesystem health.
Do videos sync between devices?
Yes for media and edits on login across mobile and desktop. Originals stay on the SD card until imported. Reinstalls change nothing cloud-side. Check upload badges.
