Description

Configure the Immich mobile app on Jeff's phone (Samsung Fold 6) to auto-backup the DJI Fly app's media folder. This ensures all drone footage from the DJI Neo 2 automatically syncs to the Immich photo library on Netcup.

DJI has no public cloud API for consumer drones, so the workflow is:

  1. QuickTransfer drone footage from Neo 2 to phone via DJI Fly app
  2. Immich mobile app auto-backs up the DJI media folder in the background

Steps (on phone)

  1. Install Immich app from Play Store (if not already installed)
  2. Sign in with server URL: https://photos.jeffemmett.com
  3. Go to: Backup → Backup Albums → Select albums
  4. Find and enable the DJI album (typically DCIM/DJI or Pictures/DJI)
  5. Enable background backup (Backup settings):
    • Toggle on "Background backup"
    • Toggle on "Require WiFi" (drone footage is large)
    • Optionally toggle "Require charging"
  6. Test by QuickTransferring a clip from the drone and confirming it appears in Immich

Acceptance Criteria

  • #1 Immich mobile app installed and signed in on Fold 6
  • #2 DJI media folder selected in Immich backup albums
  • #3 Background backup enabled with WiFi-only setting
  • #4 Test drone footage appears in Immich after QuickTransfer to phone
