‘I accidentally formatted the micro SD card on my Samsung Galaxy phone and lost all the videos stored on it. How should I recover videos from Android phone SD card? Please help.’
Data loss incidents are frequently reported with regard to smartphones. Many of them happen due to accidental deletion of videos and photos or the need to format external storage cards to free up space. This scenario is obviously more common with popular smartphone brands like Samsung due to their massive user base.
What’s worse in such smartphone data loss situations is that many a time there’s no backup of multimedia files like videos (which are typically stored with a strong intent for long term retention and consumption).
Most smartphone brands including Samsung have their own cloud backup facility, but, nonetheless, the required backup is often not available due to several reasons— poor internet connectivity, disabled Auto backup/sync, user’s negligence, etc.
Unlike many other new smartphones in the market, Samsung has chosen to stick with external SD card slot in its Galaxy phones. The expandable memory – with up to 512 GB capacity – allows abundant storage for multimedia files and makes sure that you never run out of the storage space. Which means that these smartphone memory cards accumulate a massive gallery of photos and videos with time. And losing them – for any reason like accidental deletion, virus attack, formatting, or phone rooting – is a major pain point that most Samsung smartphone users face at some point in time.
The smartest and easiest method to recoup lost videos in one go is to choose a professional Micro SD card recovery software. Other than this, you might recover videos from the backup, in case you’d created one!
Another way is to recover the videos from Google Cloud storage, if you had synced your smartphone with it.
As soon as you discover the gaffe, the first thing at your rescue is the data backup. If you’ve been following the best practice of maintaining regular backups on Cloud, computer drive or other storage media, recover the lost videos from there.
A reliable video recovery software would serve as the smartest and easiest method for Android Micro SD card recovery. For instance, the Stellar Video Recovery Software is a powerful Micro SD card recovery tool that restores videos lost or deleted from any Samsung phone external storage card, with a very high success rate.
It also recovers videos from formatted, reformatted, and corrupt Micro SD cards of Android phones, and restore the files with original date and timestamp.
