Connect once on the Activities tab, and your Strava activities are listed there.
Strava is the short way in. There is no file to export, nothing to download and no browser detour: you connect once, and from then on your activities are a list inside the app.
That happens once. To disconnect later, open Settings and find Strava under Connected accounts. The trips you’ve already made keep their activities.
Tap an activity to make a film of that one.
For a trip of several days, tap the route drawn at the start of each row instead. That picks the activity, and once something is picked, a tap anywhere on a row picks it or lets it go. A bar along the bottom counts what you picked, and Make a film turns it into one trip, oldest day first. Take every day of the trip in one pass: the days come out of the timestamps, so a week of riding arrives as a week.
Everything you recorded on Strava is listed, not only the rides. A walk between two riding days is there too, which is what you want for a rest day you spent on your feet. An activity with no route, like a ride on a trainer, is listed in gray and can’t be filmed.
Hide clears out what will never be a trip: pick the activities, then tap Hide. Hidden Strava activities stay hidden on this device.
If the app says “Strava would not connect”, Strava turned the request down. What follows it in parentheses is Strava’s own reason, and it isn’t something you did.
A file always works, and it is the route that carries more of the ride anyway. If you record on a Garmin, take the export described in Rides from Garmin. For anything else, the paths are on Getting your rides in.
A different message, “Strava could not be reached”, is the ordinary one: that is the connection rather than the account, and trying again usually settles it.
