Very Useful
In a test, I used Data Recovery Free to scan and recover image files from a USB drive. It not only found 8 photos that Id added to the drive then deleted AFTER erasing the drive, but a multitude of files from before I erased and renamed the drive. While this app cant be used to scan some devices (like an attached iPhone), there are alternatives that do. (I used Windows software running with Codeweavers CrossOver, which worked, but not native Mac software.)
When I erased the drive for the test, I didnt use Security options: If I had, this app might have found fewer files, but still would have found the 8 test files. What this free app does, it does extremely well!
