To restore files from Google Drive on your Android device, follow these simple steps:
1. Open the Google Drive app on your Android device. If you don’t have it installed, you can download it from the Google Play Store.
2. Once you’ve opened the app, you’ll see a list of your files and folders. If you’re looking for a specific file, you can use the search bar at the top of the screen to quickly find it.
3. Tap on the file you want to restore. This will open a preview of the file, along with some options at the top of the screen.
4. Tap on the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner of the screen. This will open a dropdown menu with several options.
5. From the dropdown menu, select the “Restore” option. This will restore the selected file to its original location in your Google Drive.
It’s important to note that the “Restore” option will only be available if the file has been previously deleted or modified. If the file is still in your Drive and you want to make a copy of it, you can select the “Make a copy” option from the dropdown menu instead.
If you’re looking to restore multiple files at once, you can do so by selecting them using the checkboxes next to each file. Once you’ve selected all the files you want to restore, you can tap on the “Restore” option from the dropdown menu.
In case you’re unable to find the file you’re looking for, you can also check the “Trash” folder in your Google Drive. Deleted files are usually stored here for a certain period of time before they are permanently deleted. To access the “Trash” folder, simply tap on the menu icon at the top-left corner of the screen, then select “Trash” from the sidebar.
Once you’re in the “Trash” folder, you can follow the same steps mentioned above to restore any files you want.
Remember, it’s always a good idea to regularly back up your important files to avoid any potential loss. This can be done by regularly syncing your Android device with your Google Drive, or by manually uploading files to your Drive.
Restoring files from Google Drive on your Android device is a straightforward process. By following the steps outlined above, you’ll be able to recover any deleted or modified files and have them back in your Drive in no time.
