How can I regain lost access to files?

No doubt, digital data is an indispensable part of people’s computing life: whether you're part of a company or an individual, it's crucial that your important documents and other files could be opened whenever they are needed and from the platform or environment you are most comfortable working in. However, the abundance of choice offered by the modern IT market may lead to the situation when on-demand data access becomes impossible due to incompatibility issues, such as conflicts of different operating systems or computer's inability to recognize a connected storage. Fortunately, the inaccessibility of files doesn’t make them damaged or lost: reliable data access software may work as a guide to an unreachable storage allowing the user to find the needed files and copy them to another location without making any destructive changes to the source.
