Where the Skydio app keeps flight media and logs on Android and iPhone, plus drone storage roles. Exact folders are covered below.
Last updated
Skydio mirrors Autel layout. The aircraft holds full video. The phone holds saves, previews, and logs. Your Skydio account holds synced logs and fleet state.
Manual saves land in Photos or gallery. Full retrieval needs the drone link, not just the cloud. Log names include dates and serials. Keep them intact for the timeline. For archiving, download originals to a PC and export logs from the app. Clearing phone cache frees space without touching drone video or cloud logs. Check the in app storage readout when sizes look wrong on different releases.

Frequently asked questions
Where are my Skydio drone videos?
On the drone internal storage or card for full video, in the phone gallery for manual saves, and in your Skydio account for synced logs. Download full media over USB or WiFi before formatting. Phone cache holds previews only.
Do Skydio flight logs sync to the cloud?
Yes for logs and thumbnails when signed in with sync on. Full video stays on the drone until downloaded. The phone holds a private log copy plus shared previews. Sync before wiping, since the drone keeps video but not the app timeline view.
