Glarysoft File Recovery Free

In the eventuality that you lost a valuable file that you have been working on for days, there is no need to fret. Glarysoft File Recovery Free is one of the many restoration tools out there that can help you recover files and other data lost due to accidental deletion, hardware failures, power outs and other reasons.

Following a quick and uneventful installation, the tool scans your drive for deleted data that can be recovered. The available files are organized in folders displayed in the left side and clicking on either of them allows you to view the contents and select the data to be recovered.

As you would expect, the application comes with a search function that can save you a lot of time when looking for a specific file. You can also use filters to make the query more relevant as you sort out files via size, date of creation or name.

You will be happy to learn that the program works with both internal hard drives, including HDD and SSD as well as other removable storage media. According to the developer, the later category includes external hard drives, memory cards, flash drives, USB keys or other removable media.

As far as compatibility goes, the utility supports most of the common file systems available on computers today, including, but not limited to NTFS, FAT and NTFS + EFS. Once the files are selected, you can preview them to make sure this is what you want and then hit the Restore button, located in the bottom right corner.

Depending on the type of file you want to restore and other factors – the time when it was deleted and whether other operations have been performed on the PC – the process of recovery can be rather slow. Then again, this is not something unusual or not to be expected, especially given the role and nature of Glarysoft File Recovery Free.
