How to preview deleted files before recovery with Disk Drill - CleverFiles Today, we-re going to be taking a look at the view options within scanning results on Disk Drill. So when using Disk drill to scan a hard drive or any sort of storage device for recovery, you get a couple of options once the san results display. I want to walk you through the 4 available view options once those results come in. Earlier I scanned my main hard drive with my MacBook. And it displayed all of the results that it was able to find when it came to the files to recover. Now you can view these in 1 of 4 ways. 1. First and foremost here we have the folder view. The folder view basically breaks it down by folders of which it's found the files and so in this case you see I have three folders documents, partitions, and pictures. These are all the files it was able to recover when I did a scan of this specific hard drive you can see you can go into the hierarchy of the folders by simply tapping down on the down arrow and then going in with in each subfolder as needed. So again, this is the folder view you can see the name, view the hex, the kind of file it is, as well as the size and if the modification date is included you can see that there as well. 2. Now changing the view option here in the bottom right allows you to go and see it another way. For example as we-re viewing in folders right now, we can also simply just jump to the file view. What this will do is just simply display only the files that was able to find within the scan, so if you just want to get down to the files that was able to recover you can find that one specific file or all of them, you can just view it in the file view that simple that easy. You'll notice that the path still has a folder from what you came so you know its original location. In this case this one came from the partition folder, this one came from the Documents folder, and so on. 3. The next view is also folders, but this gives you a more visual representation with icons. If I go to folder with icons here and I navigate back, for example you can see I still have my main folders of documents partitions and pictures, however I want to click into a specific folder eyes can see the subfolder and then let's say I go into this plist folder here. You can see I now have all of the files displayed however now I have an icon representation so I can actually see a little thumbnail of the file that I'm trying to recover. Really useful especially let's say you're trying to recover a picture that you may have deleted and you want to see if you know you can find it via Disk Drill. It makes it easier to visually see what's being recovered in what you have options to recover within Disk Drill with this view. So again folders with icons allows you to navigate the folder still you can see here in the paths directory. This time you just get the picture in thumbnail view when it comes to searching for your results here. 4. Last, but not least, you just have the simple icons view. This will show you all of the files that the scan was able to find in terms of recovery, however I'll just show you the thumbnail view. So no folder is you don't have to navigate through subfolders if you just want to get directly to the files but you want that thumbnail view and the ability to search just based off the icons then this is the view for you. And again once you find the file that you want to recover, you simply check the file hit recover in the top right, display where you want the file to go, and you're good to go. And it's that simple and easy and these are all the view options you have within Disk Drill

hey adrian, i recently moved my photos taken on my dslr on my mac onto my hard drive, but recently noticed one folder of photos on my hard drive comes up as -zero bytes- and the photos say they were created in 1980, and modifed in 1984. i'm currently using disk drill to find these photos but is there an easy way to do this? the photos are under IMG_3789 etc.. i djust don't know if i'm looking in the right place. currently half way through scanning the APPLE SSD but nothing so far. so far every file i've clicked has not been files i've downloaded, just lil code things

The main problem with the software is no file names. Its like going into a city library that contains 350000 books that have been scattered accross a space the size of a foorball field, then trying to find one book, that has also had its name erased. Impossible. You would be there for months trying to find the file you want.

Can't seem to preview any AVI recovered, doing so on the latest iMac when you click preview it brings up the window with the file name but doesn't preview any of the videos recovered?
