Question Recover Photos Deleted By SamsungCloud/OneDrive

Question Recover Photos Deleted By SamsungCloud/OneDrive - Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for help, if not I would appreciate it if someone knows where I could get this help.
I noticed today that OneDrive deleted 2500 photos from my phone without warning or without putting them in the file trash. Just because my photo library is connected to OneDrive. When I disconnected and deleted the photos from my Windows machine, they were gone on my S22 Ultra as well.
Is there any recovery software/tool that could help me recover these photos?
I would be very happy if someone could help me.

Try DiskDigger from Playstore

Did you try going to the OneDrive website? There is a recycle bin there.

Yes searched there, but could not find anything. I think these photos never have been in the recycle bin.
I really do not understand what One Drive did. I had these photos twice in the cloud so I stopped syncing and deleted them in the cloud. Then I activated sync again and my S22 started to upload them again to one drive. Everything seemed right. Now, after 3 Weeks I check my gallery again and all these photos are gone.

Tried it and it did not find deleted photos only existing ones. I thought I would maybe root my phone, but it seems that I have to wipe it twice to do that. This would make the process of recovering even worse I think

That is because they were not on your phone. If you deleted from your Windows PC, they should have gone to the recycle bin on your PC. Unless you changed the default behavior when you delete files. Like the others said, OneDrive has recycle bin turned on by default. If they were in your OneDrive, they would have gone into the recycle bin. After 30 days, they will be deleted from the recycle bin.

They were definitly on my Phone (I shot them with my phone) and in the One Drive Cloud.
Because One Drive screwed up and I had dublicates in the Cloud I stopped the synchronisation and removed them from One Drive. After reactivating the synchronisation between One Drive and MyPhone, I checked if my Phone started to upload these pictures that were missing in the One Drive Cloud. And it did, so left it alone.
Now, after some weeks I wanted to backup them on my PC and NAS. But then I saw that instead of further uploading all missing Photos OneDrive started to remove them from my Phone. And they are not in the Recycling bin what I cannot understand.
I previously owned an iPhone and everything worked fine with iCloud synchronisation. But the One Drive implementation on Samsung is a total mess. There are many people with the same problem as mine

It looks like i would be able to recover maybe some fotos if I my Phone is rooted.
But to root my phone i have to wipe it twice.
Is there a way to do a full backup (also with all data blocks that maybe hold my data) and recover it after the root process?

OneDrive works just like iCloud and all of the other cloud services. If you delete files from ANY device connected to OneDrive, it deletes them from ALL devices. OneDrive has a 30 day recycle bin. Meaning it deletes files every day that are in the recycle bin over 30 days. When you say, "now after some weeks." how many weeks is "some weeks"? If it was more than four then those files were deleted out of the OneDrive recycle bin. You can contact Microsoft support and ask if they can recover the files, but I don't know how long it retains data like that.
If you wipe your phone twice to root, you will lose even more data. You will be lucky to recover anything at all after two wipes.

I know that One Drive should Work like other Cloud Services but the synchronisation works not like it should.
Like I said, I stopped the service and started it again to reupload these photos. But because One Drive could not find them int the Cloud it decided to remove them from my Phone. So that they are also not in the Recycling bin of my Phone. Probably they have been in the Recycling bin of One Drive I never checked that. But these photos were on My Phone the first Weekend of December. I dont understand who this synchronisation could screw that up.
Does matter is gone for that and I do not plan using One Drive Sync anymore. I used the iCloud service for 6 Years and never had such an issue. 6 Months with One Drive/Samsung Cloud and I lose 1600 photos.
Do you know a way to root the device (Android 13) without wipeing? Probably there is no way right?

It did exactly as it was supposed to do and that is how all cloud services work.
This is how cloud services work. When you take a picture, the original is uploaded to the cloud (in this case OneDrive); a COPY of that photo is then synced with all of your devices. When you de-linked Samsung Gallery from OneDrive, your phone maintained the copies. When you deleted them from your PC, it deleted them from OneDrive. So when you resynced your phone, OneDrive deleted the copies off of your phone.
That is how all cloud storage services work.
I am still confused as to why you deleted them from your PC in the firsts place.
To my knowledge, there is no way to root a phone without wiping it. Depending on the model, you may not be able to unlock the bootloader.
I am sorry you lost a lot of photos. I'm not sure there is a whole lot you can do to recover them save getting a professional to do it and that can get expensive. The other option is to run data recovery software on your PC. R-Tools is good, but it is pricey. I used it to recover photos after two of the four drives on my NAS failed. Even then, I lost several thousand images.

Sad to hear that you aslo lost 1000 of imgaes.
To complete the story (if you are interested):
I moved my photos into a new folder in One Drive becuase I thought maybe my Samsung Device notice that as an album. It didn't. Then a while later these photos started to appear as duplicates on my phone. I wanted to have my gallery clean so is stopped the sync service removed them from the cloud (throughout my pc) and activated a while later the sync service again. Then I waited 1-2 days to check if my phone starts uploading the images i just deleted.
And yes, it did. So I was not worried that something would go wrong.
Beginning of Dezember I checked again and these photos were on my Samsung Device. I had no worries. 4 Days ago I wanted to backup them finally locally on my PC and NAS. Then I noticed they are not in the cloud and also not on my phone.
That's why I think this is not entirely my fault because I checked multiple times. What One Drive messed up:
- Dublicating Fotos only because I moved them into a diffrent Folder (at the beginning)
- Taking a lot of time to synchronise them with the cloud or rather synchronising them only after they got removed from the OneDrive recycle bin (because they where definitly on my phone after i removed them from One Drive).
But its too late, I got used to it.
Checked out R-Tools but I think it's the same problem as with all other recovery softwares. They need full access to my Phones Hard Drive, which they only get if I root it.
Nevertheless, thank you for your time and help and have a great new year

Look in the files section of Onedrive. The missing photos might be in a different folder than the rest of the gallery photos, which isn't recognized by Gallery. I would go into a PC and manually move the missing photos to the correct folder. Mine is labeled SAMSUNG GALLERY. Good luck

Where are calendar events stored?

Hi everyone,
So I just flashed Cyanogenmod on my G2X and it's fantastic. However, I made a stupid mistake of not backing up my sms and calendar events through titanium backup. I did however, before I erased everything from my phone, copy all the contents to my computer. Is there a specific folder where these were stored? Can I just copy and paste them to my phone?
The Calendar I didn't even think of because I thought it's automatically getting synced with google but apparently not because when I loaded it after the flash, the contents are about a month old...so I'm assuming that everything that was up to date was stored only on my phone and I'm hoping I can save it! I really need to get that info back...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

If you were signed into your Google account and you had data your calendar events should have automatically and almost immediately uploaded to Google's servers. All of the data is stored in an sqlite database on the phone. I don't know any way to access the data on the database in a backup file. Maybe some more expert users can help you.

Hi thanks for the reply.
I thought my account should be getting updated too, which is why I never even bothered to back it up (I guess I should have checked first). My calendar information is like a month old...I have no idea why this happened.
I was hoping it would also be on a file stored somewhere on the phone or SD card which I can just copy and paste to my phone (since I moved everything to my computer before deleting).

Did you have multiple accounts signed into Google. Sometimes the wrong account is syncing with the calendar entries you created. Check your other accounts and the events might have backed up to that account, instead of the one you intended.

Is there an app to SYNC photos (not just backup) only while charging & only Wi-Fi?

Is there an app to SYNC photos (not just backup) only while charging & only Wi-Fi?
Yesterday I did an incredibly stupid mistake. I was in recovery mode trying to wipe cache,when I almost accidentally dropped my phone and somehow tapped on delete everything twice while trying to save it from the fall, everything happened so quickly and suddenly I was on the "select language screen" and thinking "what the f did I just do". I had google photos backup off because I don't like how it acts and I lost ALL my pictures and videos, funny enough, I transferred everything from my S9+ to OP6 and everything was on both devices for a few days, this accident happened just 1 day after I did a factory reset on my S9+ to get it ready to sell it, since all my files were already "safe" on the OP6.
Soooo... my question is if there an app to sync camera photos and videos just like whatsapp or iCloud does?
I know google photos can upload all the pictures I take but it is missing the option of "backup only while charging" plus it just uploads ALL pictures taken with the phone (like, MEGA and dropbox).
Let's say I take 100 photos monthly but delete 70 during the month when cleaning my phone from useless temporary or blurred photos.
At the end of the year I would have 360 pictures on my phone storage but 1200 pictures on Google Photos, most of them useless. If I select all the 1200 and delete them from google photos, doing that would also delete the 360 on my phone storage.
I just want to use my phone normally and delete useless pictures on my phone gallery and eventually having the exact same photos on the cloud while syncing only overnight while charging and on Wi-Fi.
Alternatively, if there is no other app to do this. I think I can do this:
1) let everyhing upload to google photos using at least the option of Wi-Fi only, while it will drain my battery a bit, I don't take that many pictures a day.
2) Maybe once a month, move all my pictures on my phone gallery (i.e. 360) to a folder "camera_watheverothername", then delete all my pictures on google photos (i.e. 1200) but since they are not in the original folder, they won't be deleted on my device, just on google photos.
3) Move all my pictures 360 again to original camera folder
4) Will the 360 pictures be uploaded again to Google Photos when I move them back??
Another option could be just doing the "cleaning" from google photos instead of from native gallery but I wouldn't like to do that as I don't really like google photos app and how it asks for confirmation to delete each photo, it is already just moving them to the trash so asking confirmation to continue instead of an "undo" button is only a waste of time

Well, if you're rooted, then there is a way:

I'm not at the moment and I think that is only to only backup while charging but still is not syncing what is on the phone, just uploading everything to google photos

Google Photos is smart enough to know when there are duplicates, unless the meta data has changed some how. (Like date the picture was taken, or location, etc...)
You can use the backup option in your OP6:
Settings
Advanced
OnePlus Switch
Uncheck everything except Photos and Videos
Upload the Backup folder to your PC/Laptop

In the comments section of the linked post provided by MickyFoley, someone said download the copy of Google Photos that still had the option, install it, select the option to back up only when charging, then update the app. Your setting for backingup while charging should persist through the update.
I know another workaround and no root is required. Just downgrade the app to a older version with that option, turn it on and Update the app, then the option is still there after the update.

what I wanted is sync only while charging AND on Wi-Fi but that's just an extra. I have chargers and unlimited data, what I really want is two-way sync

My mistake. Not sure of any that only sync while charging. Will look into it.
Looked into it. Dropbox has that option. I have it installed but don't use much.

I use Dropbox and it has both of those options.

If anyone is having the same issue, I think this might do the trick:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=MetaCtrl
I'll try the MEGA option since mega has 50 GB free and I'll report back

I just remembered; why not use BTSync, now called Resilio Sync.
3 years ago it was BTSync, and free. Looks like there might be a fee now, worth a look I guess...
Edit: Added screenshots of the app, showing it has camera backup option and looks like you can enable Battery Saver and have the phone only sync while it's above a certain percentage, up to 100%

regarding this, is there any way to pull the photos and videos from oneplus servers using a laptop or a non oneplus phone (without specifically restoring with Oneplus switch app, just pulling the files) ? My next phone most likely won't be a oneplus unless they do something great with the 6T but I'm still getting the S10 on march

It may be another option but since you say there might fee I'll stick with the MEGA AutoSync unless it stops working or starts draining battery but that app is doing exactly what I wanted I was able to add plenty of conditions of when to sync (even added some extra ones with tasker integration) and when I delete pictures on native gallery app, they are deleted from MEGA server on next synchronization
That way if I ever lose my phone or my data again, my folders on MEGA will be exactly as on my phone without a bunch of useless pictures that were previously deleted on the phone's gallery

I don't believe the backup is uploaded to their servers. It is stored locally in your phone and they recommend transferring the backup to your laptop/pc, as you lose data on the phone with flashing.
I have a backup on my computer at work. I'll see if I can access just the pictures and videos

oh then it would be useless if I lose my phone or if everything is erased from recovery, isn't it?

I would also recommend syncing pics (and data) with a pc, except you really want to use cloud only. I tried many apps. Finally I found "SyncMe Wireless" on Play Store. It is functionally, easy to use, safe. As I have my OP6 rooted and am playing around with it incl. bricking sometimes, I´ve synced all my data inclusive twrp-nandroids. No software on pc is needed, just the app on your phone. You can chose the folders you want to be synced and so on - via wifi or usb, as you like, in one or both directions.. and so on. When you want to sync it´s one click, e.g. when coming home from business. Just my input.

QuickPic app is not showing any cloud data (photos)

Hi there,
I am not able to find any photos in QuickPic Gallery cloud app which I have backed app. There is almost 50GB+ and I am unable to view it. I am also trying to access from Web view but there is also nothing showing. I read one XDA thread saying that CM Cloud is taking down their server in April 2017 (but photos were backing up till last week i.e. 28th December 2018) and they informed users to restore their data. but last week I came to know about it and I also didn't get notification in QuickPic Gallery app about the same.
Is there any solution? that will be a big relief. Thanks!!!

I'm facing the same problem. I have around 43GB of photos in there. Now I cannot access too, I didnt know about them terminating their service, else I would have back up first. No notifications or email.

Same here, it's backing up the pictures, but I can't view any of the backed up folders.

My Solution:
1: Go from your Windows PC to https://cloud.cmcm.com and login with your CM Cloud login from QuickPic
2. On top click on the link "How to download photos from QuickPic"
3. Follow the instructions
4. Rename the downloaded fotos with an exif-tool
5. done!

hi fehrcomp, thank you so much for sharing. i did login and didnt able to restore from quickpic. it shows : {"ret":-1,"data":{"message":"wrong token","error":5}}
what did i do wrong?

I lost about 3000 pics using Quick Pick and CM Cloud... I log in to the CM Cloud and the pics are not there. If you have a chance, get your pics out of there, quickly!

I'm just downloading my photos as we speak from that **** of a cloud service, as I have recieved notice about CM shutting it down (and it should).
Note that in order to see your pictures, you have to login into https://cloud.cmcm.com/p/disk/ and look for a folder called CM Qickpic, and in that folder theres a folder called "Original Photos". All my photos are there, and I'm using their even more **** of a tool to download it...
Hope you guys get your precious stuff and get the hell out of there ASAP!
P.S.- Anyone already using a similar (prefferably more stable and trusted) service? I'm syncing my stuff on Google Photo at this moment...
Best of luck!

@fehrcomp
4. Rename the downloaded fotos with an exif-tool
How did you do this? my exif seems to be deleted/incorrect for some pics

Already done,all my pics was downloaded followed these guide above.... thanks guys.

@tintumat
I had correct exif data. Otherwhise you could not use a exif tool.
@keeekeee
You tried an other browser?

Awesome, glad to hear!

Can anyone help in this ?
i have 10 years of photos there 134gb cannot access them, the only way that worked for me but still suffering was installing bluestack on my PC and then install older version of quickpic, login and then i see everything i started to download the pictures and now im stuck because bluestack allows only 65gb of storage and im still half way restoring, no luck through their ****ty website!
If anyone can help in this will be appreciated.

I can't even login, when I use the link provided to login from a computer I get "You have logged out, please log in again". The pw is correct because when I am using a bogus pw (for testing) it actually shows me that the email or pw is incorrect. How can I login? I even reset my pw 2 times, but I can't login. On the phone it works, I see the pictures, but I cannot download them (restore failed).

I have a total of 4.9 TB of storage at cm cloud, whereas the used space is about 5 GB, but In cloud there are only 19 photos remaining.
I backed up all the data from the cloud before the service shut down but I was curious if they deleted our data, and they didn't, and also there is no option to delete your photos.

Migrate whatsapp data from ios to samsung s21, I'm so stressed

Bought my mom a new phone, android this time. But I'm super nervous if I can't manage to transfer her photos, videos and chats from whatsapp. Does anybody know anything about this? Any helps will be appreciated..

yeah whatsapp don't store the files you uploaded on chat like photos or videos on server it just stay on your device storage ... perhaps copying them might work??

I found an app called wazzapmigrator its paid but I'll update with the results.
Cuz it will be impossible and so inefficient with copying the messages and photos manually.

Firstly, I don't have What up installed on my device, however I have set up, What's up (Android device) quite a few times for other people.
I told them to backup all, videos etc.( whatever).......
Look in the What's up app settings,( it should be the same as Android.?)
Make sure you do a full Backup to Whatsapp.
After doing a backup.
All you have to do is on new device when setting What's up ... up
for first use it, should recognize the cell phone number and you can do a WhatsApp restore.
I know that it restored all their data.id's etc etc.
You can ask any other members to confirm this.!
Good luck.

Hey, thanks for your reply.
As a reply to your message, unfortunately, as can be seen on the official whatsapp faq in their website, there's no way to transfer datas (including both messages and media) because they use two different cloud storage formats I believe. You can't do it via manual backup or itunes backup cuz they're encrypted differently.
However as I mentioned in my message above, the app called wazzapmigrator did it completely perfect. No message loss, photo or video loss, I've got almost 10000 types of media including gifs, photos, videos, links, when transferring, about 100 was failed which is like %1 and its nothing when you compare with the big picture. I checked the recent messages and the recent photos, everything was there. No problem with gallery, no problem at all. I'm so happy and its worth every penny actually

Well Recently I bought new phone for my mom and I have no idea how to migrate whatsapp data so i google and found application MobileTrabs after using I've migrate data .

Pictures missing in Gallery but visible using Samsung My Files app

I figured out a SIMPLE trick to fix pictures missing in the Gallery app (maybe other apps) but visible using Samsung My Files app.
The Fix:
1.... I am not responsible for your actions. If you choose to do this and it screws things up I am sincerely sorry but not responsible. I have backups of my backups and I rarely test on my working phone, always testing on the spare. Back your [email protected]% up
2.....Make a Backup if you can. If you can see your pictures using Samsung's My Files app(or similar) then that means you can back them up somewhere before you screw things up......
3.........Make the assumption that you are using a cloud service and put your phone into airplane mode to pause cloud syncing. Watch to ensure that both Data and Wi-Fi are indeed turned off before proceeding.
4.........Using Samsung's My Files app(or similar) navigate to Internal Storage, not the SD card
5.........Rename DCIM to DCIM1 (press and hold then open menu and select "Rename")
6.........Rename DCIM1 back to DCIM
7.........Turn off Airplane Mode
8.........Enjoy
9.........Please post results
Back Story:
I do not use a paid cloud service. Instead I use a Synology DSM and manage my own personal cloud using Synology Drive Server. I sync my phone and a spare phone(I used to travel a lot) with my 80Gbyt personal music library, pictures, sms backups, work and other data. I sync my moms pictures and sms as well. I have been doing this for a couple years. In Feb 2021 I upgrade our phones to Note 9's and I had to go through the typical steps..... clear cache, uninstall, reinstall, mom cried, found them with My Files app & moved them out of Phone/DCIM to phone/temp then moved them back. This seemed to work...... step forward to July 4th....88YO mom screaming in my ear where are my pictures....good thing she understands what a backup is ....Summer Road trip with my 16Yo son..... I get home and Synology basically forced me to update my DSM and in the process I dumped their sync'ing software and started using Resilio Sync. All in all a good thing so far .......wait pictures missing again.......F&$# aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh and then I got a lightbulb
