Accidentally losing important files from a Google Pixel phone is annoying, but there is nothing to worry about. There are usually two approaches to recover the deleted data: restoring the deleted files from the previous backup file or recovering without backup. We will introduce both approaches in this article. If you have recently lost or deleted important files from your Google Pixel phone, you can go through the 3 methods below to achieve Google Pixel data recovery.
Before Google Pixel data recovery, you may be curious as to why the files get lost from your Google Pixel phone. Here are some possible reasons that may lead to data loss on a Google Pixel phone:
Well, are those deleted files recoverable? Yes, probably. As a matter of fact, the missing files are not permanently removed but marked as "replaceable" or "hidden" in the system, which can be easily overwritten by the new data. So, if you want to recover deleted files, you had better stop using your phone. You should switch off the Wi-Fi/cellular data and power off the device to avoid producing any new data soon after data loss happens.
In addition, developing a habit of backing up important files regularly can also free you from lots of troublesome situations.
If you haven't backed up data before, and they are missing from your Pixel phone, you can still recover deleted files on Google Pixel. Coolmuster Lab.Fone for Android is a powerful Android data recovery software, which can recover deleted files from Android internal memory and SD card without backup in one click.

If you backed up your Google Pixel data before the data loss occurred, you can quickly restore the deleted files from the backup. In this section, we will introduce the two most common methods to recover data from a backup on your Pixel phone.
If you enabled Google backup on your Pixel phone before losing data, you can restore deleted files during the device setup process. This method is especially useful when you perform a factory reset or set up a new device. It allows you to recover data such as apps, contacts, call logs, device settings, SMS, and more from your previous backup stored in your Google account.
Steps to restore data from Google account backup:
Step 1. On your Pixel phone, go to "Settings" > "Reset".
Step 2. Follow the on-screen instructions to move on until you proceed to "Copy apps & data".
Step 3. Then, tap "Next" > "Can't use the old phone" > "OK" under "Copy another way" > Hit "A backup from the cloud".
Step 4. Sign in with the Google account that you backed up data with. After you select a backup file, click "Restore" to get the deleted data back to your phone.
If you have previously uploaded important files from your Pixel phone to a cloud storage service like Dropbox, restoring them is simple and quick.
Steps to recover data from Dropbox:
Step 1. Launch the Dropbox app on your Pixel phone or open dropbox.com in your browser.
Step 2. Sign in with the same Dropbox account that was used to back up your files.
Step 3. Navigate to the folder where your lost files were stored. You can also use the search bar to locate specific file names.
Step 4. Tap on the file to open it, then choose the "Download" option to save it locally on your device.
Dropbox also has a Deleted Files feature. If you deleted a file within the last 30 days (or longer for paid plans), you can go to "Deleted files" on the website, select the file, and click "Restore".
Performing Google Pixel data recovery isn't as difficult as it may seem, especially when you act quickly and use the right tools. If you don't have a backup, Coolmuster Lab.Fone for Android provides an efficient and user-friendly way to recover deleted files directly from your device. On the other hand, if you've backed up your data in advance using a Google account or a cloud service like Dropbox, you can restore your deleted content with just a few taps.
No matter which method you choose, always remember to back up your data regularly to avoid future data loss. Prevention is always better than a cure. Finally, if you encounter any problem during use, feel free to leave a comment below.
