I'm not too sure what this may or may not entail being a new pilot myself, but I have already figured I would break down my use annually, on a personal level. I have only been flying since 30 NOV 2021 and have already logged 129 km (80.15688 miles) ~ 16.3 hours ~ 75 "total flights"... And I am already up to about 250GB in data/archive for 2021 alone ~ although that includes things such as my TRUST cert, and all my Part 107 study material too, the file size for all that "random stuff" pales in comparison to the massive collective file size of all the video and images taken while in flight...!
My plan is to archive and then "wipe" any data (like flight logs) from my "drone phone", and log my flights activity (distance, time and # of flights) by year... Then I will know my distance, time, and number of flights - per year, on my own
But no, I have not seen anything in the app about syncing or an annual flight report... and I run DJI Fly 1.5.4 build 1390
At this rate (~250GB /2 months == ~1.46TB /year) though, I am going to have to buy a MASSIVE hard drive to archive all the data (video/pix/logs)..! Luckily for me, I do believe the current largest standalone drive (HDD) is either 18TB or 20TB, so that should last a good while
An 18TB drive would store ~12-12.5 years worth of flying if I maintained the current usage rate :O Maybe I should store individual years on individual drives too? Then I could get away with a 2TB drive for per year, but then the physical stack of HDD's would start to pile up, and rather than having ~12 years on a single drive, I'd have a stack of 12 HDDs (but
2TB drives are SO cheap)... hmm, something to contemplate LOL...! I am just pretty sure I don't want to continue adding them to my existing digital archive (which is really only supposed to be for operating systems, software, work, and projects, not "media") of 20TB (2x 10TB drives)...
Well anyway, also, thank you for making me evaluate this now too since we just flipped a calendar year recently..! This is something I needed to take into account sooner or later..!
