You can export your flight logs and upload them so that the support team can troubleshoot any issues or questions you may have. To do so, you may either upload your Skydio X2 logs directly to Customer Support or export them to a flash drive. We recommend uploading to the Skydio Support cloud as the preferred method for exporting flight logs for a quicker assessment of your issue. Skydio will never review your videos or data without your permission. Do not reformat or factory reset your Skydio drone prior to contacting our support team.

Single Flight - Includes all logs from a specified flight. This option will show you the history of all flights, organized by date and time. Select which individual flight you wish to upload.

    • If you are exporting a Single Flight, the system will first download the flight data directly from X2 to the Controller. This step may take a few minutes. You will be alerted if the logs fail to load. When completed, the logs will automatically begin exporting to the inserted USB flash drive or to Skydio Cloud.
All Controller Logs - Export all of the flight logs saved on the controller from all flight history. This option allows you to sync logs whether you are connected to the vehicle or not.
After selecting the type of flight logs you wish to export, a loading screen will display the export status. Once complete, your logs will be listed on the flash drive and organized in folders that match the flight IDs.
