Disk Drill 4 photo recovery

CleverFiles announces the release of the new version of Disk Drill for Mac, ready for macOS 11 Big Sur and data recovery from iOS 14. Disk Drill can scan and recover more than 400 file types with a press of a single button, right from your computer’s internal or external drive, or any supported storage device. Files can be recovered whole, or reconstructed in the event of a damaged drive. The pro version is $99 and includes a license of Disk Drill for Windows.

Disk Drill comes with advanced scanning algorithms to identify and reconstruct deleted files in more than 400 different file formats, including the new raw photo, videos and audio formats, according to CleverFiles. Disk Drill recovers lost and deleted data from a computer’s internal disk as well as external drives, mobile devices, memory cards, digital cameras, and more. Accidentally deleted files can be easily retrieved with the Quick Scan. In case of a less recent data loss, Disk Drill performs a Deep Scan, a thorough search of the entire drive to reconstruct lost files. This Disk Drill release concentrates on raw photos and videos, and substantially improves their recovery in many ways.

New image file types now recoverable on Mac:

  • GoPro GPR
  • JP2
  • HEIC
  • WMF
  • Panasonic/Leica RAW
  • Panasonic RWL
  • Sony SR2 and SRF
  • Leaf MOS
  • Mamiya MEF
  • Epson ERF
  • Minolta MRW
  • Olympus ORF

As well as many video and audio formats:

  • BRAW: professional video recordings
  • CinemaDNG: reconstruct deleted digital cinema files
  • Canon CRM: Cinema RAW Light HD videos
  • Improvements in QuickTime-based video recovery (MOV and similar containers)
  • MPC: compressed audio files based on MPEG-2 algorithms
  • and others

In addition to an improved data recovery, Disk Drill for Mac introduces new and updated free features:

  • Analyze your Time Machine backups and safely extract any data you may need without the need to restore the backups.
  • Securely delete any files and folders. This new free module will destroy unwanted files on a storage device beyond any future recovery.
  • Securely erase free space on any disk. Ensures others can’t recover what was deleted by securely wiping disk space marked as free.
  • Clean Up frees some space to quickly get a data map of all existing files and folders to remove space hogs.
  • Find Duplicates scans the drivers for duplicate content to free up some extra space. Also a convenient way to remove duplicates from network folders and online storage accounts like Dropbox or Google Drive.
