Synchronizing with the mobile device and uploading missions to the Pix4Dcloud are two actions that can be done after a successful flight plan and image acquisition:
Synchronization: It consists in generating the project file (.p4d) and downloading the images from the drone to the mobile device. At the end of the flight, the mission is by default synchronized when the drone comes back and lands. If the automatic synchronization is deactivated or if the synchronization is aborted, it can be still initiated or restarted later.
Upload: It consists in sending the project file (.p4d) and images of the synchronized mission to the Pix4Dcloud for online processing. The results can then be visualized, analyzed and shared.
Pix4Dcapture for iOS and Pix4Dcapture for Android provide slightly different workflows to perform synchronization with the mobile device and upload to the Pix4Dcloud.
1. Open the app.
2. In the Home screen, select Project List. For more information: (Android) How to use the Project List.
3. In the Project List screen, select the project that contains a mission to be synchronized. The status should be .
4. Turn on the drone and the remote controller. Depending on the drone, make also sure the Wi-Fi of the device is activated or connect the device via the USB cable to the remote controller. For more information, see step 6.: Pix4Dcapture - Getting Started.
5. In the Project view, in the options panel, tap . The app automatically connects to the drone and the download starts. The individual .p4d file is also generated on the device.
6. Once the synchronization is successful the project has the status in the Project List screen.
(Android) Upload
1. Open the app.
2. In the Home screen, select Project List. For more information: (Android) How to use the Project List.
3. In the Project List screen, select the project that contains a mission to be uploaded. The status should be .
4. Make sure to have Internet connection on the mobile device.
5. In the Project view, in the options panel, tap . The app starts uploading to Pix4Dcloud.
6. Once the upload is successful the project has the status in the Project List screen.
1. Open the app.
2. In the Home screen, select Mission Manager.
3. In the Mission Manager screen, select the project of the mission to be synchronized. The status should be .
4. Turn on the drone and the remote controller. Depending on the drone, make also sure the Wi-Fi of the device is activated or connect the device via the USB cable to the remote controller.
5. In the Project view, in the options panel, tap . The app automatically connects to the drone and the download starts.
6. Once the synchronization is successful the project has the status in the Mission Manager screen.
(iOS) Upload
1. Open the app.
2. In the Home screen, select Mission Manager.
3. In the Mission Manager screen, select the project of the mission to be uploaded. The status should be .
4. Make sure to have Internet connection on the mobile device.
5. In the Project view, in the options panel, tap . The app starts uploading to Pix4Dcloud.
6. Once the upload is successful the project has the status in the Mission Manager screen.
Porque PIX4D CAPTURE no carga kml en sistema IOS y si en android, debería tan bien tener esa opción. Al menos debería poder ponerse coordenadas en el área de vuelo.
Hola Luis,
Gracias por sus comentarios sobre nuestra aplicación. Es algo que es frecuentemente sugerido por nuestros usuarios y lo compartiré con el Propietario del Producto.

I already Synchronize my projects ,but I can't upload them to the cloud because i have trail account, is there any why to get my image because my sd card is formatted before I transfer the image, please help me, I'm a master student and this images are my thesis work
Hi Hussein,
You mentioned that you were able to synchronize the project after flying the mission with Pix4Dcapture.
The synchronization will transfer the images to the mobile device so they should be stored there. Once you locate the images, you can simply transfer them from the mobile device to the computer and start processing.
Best,
