I’m using the Windows DroneBlocks App…  
My question is:  
When I click on the Take Photo icon or run the blocks, it says “File Saved Successfully” but I can’t see any photos or videos on my computer. Are they in a specific location or it didn’t work for me?

Thanks,  
Mike

Mike, check the My Pictures/DroneBlocks folder and see if they are there. Let me know if not!

On Mac they will be located in the current user’s home directory under Pictures/DroneBlocks.

I can find photos path on DroneBlocks Windows desktop, iPhone IOS, but not on Android version. Can you explain? I use Android 10 on my Sony Xperia XZ3.

Our Windows devices are part of a network, so our Pictures folder is on a network drive, not the laptop itself. Because of this, that folder isn’t available when the laptop is connected to the Tello. Since the Tello is pretty much deprecated at this point, it’s probably too late to request a way to change the Save folder for Droneblocks. (I haven’t looked - does the Crazyflie have a camera?)
