That’s what I would do too, DM me and let’s move this from this public space! Let’s isolate this trouble maker from the pack. The Clever Files redditor reached out to one the communities’ more vocal members and asked for this member to DM (direct message) him some evidence for his claims and accusations. If it’s not so obvious: Any link I place to one of those junk articles will only help improve it’s SEO ranking. For obvious reasons I will not be linking to examples.

A thing that also bothers us, not so much about the software but about the company, is that for SEO purposes (I am guessing) they host numerous pages with quite frankly incomplete, bad and potentially harmful advice. If Disk Drill was good overall or excellent in a specific area we’d be using it, it is as simple as that. But in general good software makes our life easier. None of us settles for just one tool that does it all. Otherwise, it’s just emotions and baseless opinions, or maybe like others suggest here, a targeted campaign against a specific vendor? Other objections, CleverFiles business practicesĪnyway, I and many others that do data recovery benefit from using good software with predictable outcomes. Or maybe you are confusing us (Disk Drill) with another DIY recovery app? If this comment of mine is not unfairly deleted (as it usually happens to multiple others on reddit), we are ready for a challenge.

Some selective snipping from his contribution: One of them was even an official representative of CleverFiles. This week there was a sudden influx of visitors (in this and other threads) that told us we had it all wrong. Thing is, things can change, software can improve. For me this is largely based on feedback by others that used Disk Drill and I have tested Disk Drill in the past ( versions 2 and 4). I think it’s an understatement to say most of us are not fans of Disk Drill by CleverFiles. I am a member of the subreddit r/datarecovery along with some others experienced in data recovery professionally or otherwise. If you’re looking to find what file systems it supports you’re also in the wrong place, refer to the Disk Drill website (good luck finding that BTW! It’s beyond me why there isn’t a simple list of supported file systems on the product page!). Note in advance: If you read this blogpost in the hope to read an evaluation of file recovery capabilities of Disk Drill then there’s no use in continuing because I never got that far.
