A practical example

Photos appear to be in cloud storage, but nobody has checked whether deleted files can be recovered or whether the account itself is protected.

Do this now

Three useful actions

  1. 01

    Choose the photos, documents, contacts, and records you cannot replace.

  2. 02

    Keep a protected copy separate from the main device or everyday account.

  3. 03

    Test a small restore so you know the copy is complete and usable.
