At this time, we can click “Find file” button to find file quickly. It provides users with 2 finding methods:

  • Input the name of the deleted file directly. Then, the specific file will be shown.
  • Input suffix of desired files. Then, all files with the specific suffix will be shown.

(By using this function, users do not need to find specific files from numerous files, thus saving much time) Then, we only need to check files which need recovering from the finding results and click “Save Files” button to set save path. When desired files are saved to other disks, we say professional Mac file recovery software helps recover lost files thoroughly.
