I saw that this topic has been discussed here earlier, at least partially, but those threads had been closed, so had to open this again.

I am now taking the next little step in my young drone 'pilot' career, and trying to get better info on the flights by analyzing the data my drone and DroneLink provides. Could somebody in the community kindly tell what kind of online flight log reader you use for this purpose, thanks!

According to Jim's instructions, I found in my Android phone these *.txt files (like 'DJIFlightRecord_2020-08-08_[13-46-25].txt') which probably are the flight logs I was looking for.

Having read the internet, there were mentioned in many places this following tool many times, but at least for me this service didn't show anything. How about you?

Airdata and DroneLogbook are the third-party logging services we integrate with, but there is an issue they are working to correct at the moment.

I have the same problem. I used this application to decode the flight logs created by Donelink:

https://datfile.net/CsvView/downloads.html

This application is able to decode the flight logs produced by the DJI Flight APP but it isn't able to decode Dronelink flight logs.

Are you sure that Dronelink flight logs and DJI flight logs have the same data format?

I'm not sure that CsvView can decode the .txt files produced by the DJI Fly app (last version) and Dronelink App. They have a different format, I think they are encrypted.

The format is the same for both, dronelink and DJI Fly app.

CsvView can decode old .txt files like explained here:

https://phantompilots.com/threads/tool-win-offline-txt-flightrecord-to-csv-converter.70428/

as this software uses this parser: https://github.com/mikeemoo/dji-log-parser

You can use AirData UAV to decode the Dronelink files.

Thank you very much. I used Airdata to decode my flight logs and it works like a charm!

Where are the Dronelink flightlogs stored? I can't find the path shown in the FAQ section for android (https://support.dronelink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052025254-Does-Dronelink-generate-flight-logs-). DJI Fly doesn't generate logs when using dronelink but we need flightlogs for sure. I have a Samsung Galaxy S10.
