How can I regain lost access to files?

No doubt, digital data is an indispensable part of people’s computing life: whether you're part of a company or an individual, it's crucial that your important documents and other files could be opened whenever they are needed and from the platform or environment you are most comfortable working in. However, the abundance of choice offered by the modern IT market may lead to the situation when on-demand data access becomes impossible due to incompatibility issues, such as conflicts of different operating systems or computer's inability to recognize a connected storage. Fortunately, the inaccessibility of files doesn’t make them damaged or lost: reliable data access software may work as a guide to an unreachable storage allowing the user to find the needed files and copy them to another location without making any destructive changes to the source.

SysDev Laboratories recommends UFS Explorer and Recovery Explorer as optimal solutions to a wide range of issues associated with missing access to files. The software supports most common file systems enabling you to copy data from a disk partition of a supplementary operating system, for example, Linux or macOS installed on the PC in addition to Windows, or retrieve files from a portable storage previously formatted in another non-compatible environment. Moreover, the utilities are able to work with virtually stored files as if they were located on an ordinary physical device – there is no need to set up or run a virtual machine.

The applications allow copying inaccessible files ofany type, including:

  • photos
  • videos
  • documents
  • emails
  • and many others

as well as from each of the common operating systems:

  • Windows
  • macOS
