I know how to download / upload the files.
I have done this via cabeling to PC and using the DJI Assitant 2, as well as via removing and using the SD card to just transfer the files into a directory.
What I want to do is open and view / read the file information.
Equipment:
PC Windows 10
Samsung Galaxy S4 running Android 5.0.1
DJI Assitant 2

So... files are already downloaded, I just want to review the DATA.

I did, before posting. I must not be using the correct syntax. Would you be kind enough to give me an idea of the wording that produced results?

You can try uploading it to this site:

https://app.airdata.com/main?a=upload

Or you could try downloading CsvView. Seach for it in google. it's a stand alone program but a bit harder to understand than the first option.

No, no accidents, or problems experienced.
I desire just to be able to have more exacting information for various reasons.
1) To be able to duplicate the same photograph in the future = being able to know the exact altitude,  coordinates, time of day etc. so I can frame the same composition at a later date.

2) Knowing flight paths which I may use for laying out a grid to map out some properties.

3) Knowing flight paths, so if a path is being repeated, I have a better chance of finding my "lost drone" if that were to happen, referencing a past flight log can be very helpful.

4) Study of logs will help me to improve as a pilot.

5) Logs will help me analyze performance of Spark as well as batteries, signal loss, interference areas  etc.

I do not desire to just upload my logs to DJI or any other company for analysis.
I want to read the info myself. I'm a privacy advocate. I do not want my GPS location, images I shoot and other personally identifiable information to be let out to others.
