Access and recover data from Android devices with Free Android Data Recovery. The program can grant access to otherwise lost files, allowing users to transfer them to their computer for later use. Files can get lost due to a variety of reasons. Constant updates or even faulty applications within the device can cause the operating system to crash. Usually, recovering files requires the help of an experienced programmer or technical specialist. However, Free Android Data Recovery makes it possible to do the job with very little knowledge about the operating system.

The program is very easy to use. In fact, files can be recovered in just three simple steps. The program walks users through every step of the process, making it simple and foolproof. The first step is to connect the device to the computer using a USB cable. Users must then identify the device and initiate the scanning process. Free Android Data Recovery will then scan the operating system and any files located on the device.

The scan can take some time, but it's very thorough. Files are then separated based on category. This provides a quick look at the contents before diving in. Individual files can be previewed to get a better look. From there, it's all about selecting which files to recover. A simple button will start the recovery process, which transfers the file to the computer.
