Title: Photo Recovery for Android
Post by: keithy397 on September 22, 2014, 04:58 AM

Hi,

Not sure this is appropriate here but was wondering if anyone has created such a free tool?  I've been searching all over the web, places like Google Play but they're all misleading and/or bullshit.

What's the aim here? Recover image-files from a damaged sd-card?

I deleted some by accident and they've disappeared from my Google+ page too.  I only found out they other day they sort of sync with it.  I'm not so sure they were saved to my SD Card...

Have you looked in Google Drive's Trash folder?

Not there, but they were in my Google+ 'recently taken', until I deleted them instead of moving them.

You can also use the photo sync/backup features with other programs/apps such as:

• Dropbox (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dropbox.android)
• Bittorrent Sync (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bittorrent.sync)
• IFTTT (If This Then That) (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ifttt.ifttt)
• Or even Facebook (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.katana)

It may help to have multiple backups in multiple locations. Redundancy is key to preventing data loss! :Thmbsup:

I hadn't hear of IFTTT or the bittorrent sync but the other 2 yes.  I'll be looking at the former - later.

I'm ok Laptop and Desktop-wise, just hadn't gotten around to sorting any more than the inbuilt stuff out.  I'll be looking at that afterwards too.
Thanks Deozaan
