TogetherShare Data Recovery Free is a type of data recovery software that enables you to recover a wide variety of files. When you need to restore documents, audio, video, emails, Office presentations or get back items that you deleted from the recycle bin, the TogetherShare Data Recovery Free program can help you recover your files. The program is can even restore data lost in disk partitions.

People incorrectly assume that the loss of data is permanent if you formatted, deleted or otherwise lost access your files. You may even hear people give the unhelpful response of, "Well, you should have kept a backup copy." with the TogetherShare Data Recovery Free Application, you can usually recover any file as long as you haven't yet overwritten it with new data. For this reason, it's important that any Data recovery system you use has the ability to be installed on an external USB drive. Otherwise, you might inadvertently write over files that have been deleted. The utility also can't recover files if you formatted your hard drive using a secure method that overwrites data several times.

When you launch the application, a screen appears allowing you to select the method of recovery. You can choose to recover files were deleted, formatted or recover a partition. Once you select the option that best fits your needs, you will be guided through a wizard that takes you through the steps necessary to recover your files. Since the recovery system is so advanced that it can recover all types of files, you can select only the types of files you want to have recovered to reduce the number of results you may get. For example you only have to select the graphics option if you only need to recover images. Otherwise, you may get results include email, audio, video and other formats.

Once utility scans are completed, it gives you a list of files that it can recover. You can preview the files to see if they're actually the ones you need and once you've confirmed each file you can select the "Recover" button to restore your files. To make the process run a little more quickly, you can also select the hard drive where you feel that you may have lost your files in the first place. The program starts very quickly and supports over 1000 file formats. TogetherShare also allows you to recover files from an external device and gives you plenty of options to get your data back.
