You can offload your media either manually or using Skydio Media Sync. Skydio Media Sync offers seamless transfer and management of updates, images, videos, and scans in Skydio Cloud. Media can be stored, searched, and shared across your organization from the dashboard or Skydio API integration. 

Custom Folders

Within Photo or Video settings, you will see a toggle that allows you to create a custom folder preflight or inflight. This folder will be saved on the Media card under DCIM > [Custom Folder Name]. 

All photos and videos captured after creating a custom folder will automatically save to this new folder. To revert to default, select Revert to Media.

  • If you do not enter a custom folder name, media will be saved in DCIM > 100XSKYDO Does not apply to photos captured in 3D Scan
