Previews: Once a scan is completed, the Preview feature lets you see which items that showed up in the scan are actually recoverable in a useable form.

The Deep Scan gives you options when more time has elapsed since a file was lost, but it takes longer and can't always reconstruct the original filename. For recently deleted files, the Quick Scan is most effective and can bring back files with their original filenames intact in most cases. Multilevel scans: Disk Drill has two types of scans available, depending on how a file was lost and how long it's been since it was deleted. This makes the app a lot more useful, and streamlines your file recovery process quite a bit, since it means you can use one program for just about all of your recovery needs. ProsĬonnect and scan: This program works on files that were stored on your computer, but it can also recover items stored on any other device that you can connect to your Mac. While not all files are recoverable, Disk Drill uses a variety of techniques to find or reconstruct files that were lost or accidentally deleted, and is successful in many cases.

Disk Drill for Mac is a powerful tool that lets you scan your computer or other connected device for lost files and, with the paid version, recover them.
