Google Nexus Data Recovery: Retrieve Deleted Files from Nexus Android phone

As defined by Wikipedia, Google Nexus is a line of consumer electronic devices that run the Android operating system. Google manages the design, development, marketing, and support of these devices, but some development and all manufacturing are carried out by partnering with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The latest Nexus models are Nexus 5X (LG) and Nexus 6P (Huawei) with priority of Android updates, which were released in 2015. And now the brand new one is coming out with the newest Android Nougat. Are you going to buy?

Many users are big fans of this kind of hybrid Android smartphone and rely on the Android ecosystem product, such as Gmail, Google Drive and Google Photos which are all connected by one Google account. All of their phone data like calendar, contacts, photos, Chrome bookmarks and other Google app data will be backed up to the cloud with Google account logged in. But what if you forgot the password or something went wrong with the account one day? How did you get back the data?

With your Google account singed in, your calendar, contacts, photos, Chrome bookmarks and other Google app data on Nexus phone can be auto-synced to cloud and back up files like photos, videos and documents to Google Drive.
