MiniTool Releases Power Data Recovery 9.0: Desktop/Recycle Bin/Folder Recovery

Leave a comment

VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 8, 2020 — MiniTool® Software Limited has released the latest MiniTool Power Data Recovery 9.0, aiming to make specific location recovery available and save the recovery time. The new features are Desktop Recovery, Recycle Bin Recovery, and Select Folder Recovery.

It is the second time for MiniTool to announce a new version of this software this year. The last time was about four months ago.

New Features in Power Data Recovery 9.0

Add Desktop Recovery

Files on desktop are usually important and frequently used. When the desktop files are missing for some reason, like black screen of death , the newly added Desktop Recovery feature of Power Data Recovery 9.0 can deep scan and display the lost & deleted files on desktop. Since the software only displays files found from the desktop, users can save some effort in picking out files they really need.

Add Recycle Bin Recovery

Most of the time, heading to Recycle Bin will bring back the permanently deleted files using leading data recovery programs. The Power Data Recovery 9.0 finally added this long-missing feature to scan Recycle Bin. Through this approach, the software only finds, displays, and retrieves the deleted files in Recycle Bin. This narrows down the scanning range and shortens the scanning time, so users can quickly discover the desired items.

Add Specific Folder Recovery

It is a waste of time when scanning the whole drive but only recovering data from a known location. The newly added Specific Folder recovery in Power Data Recovery 9.0 allows users to select a targeted folder for a deep scan. The scan results show the files in this appointed folder. From this perspective, using the new version of Power Data Recovery, users can quickly find the desired files.

Bug Fix & Improvement

MiniTool keeps devoting itself in optimizing the data scanning algorithm. The new Power Data Recovery 9.0 also brings some improvements focusing on the scanning speed and data recovery results. More bugs are fixed in this version. In the former 8.8 version, we found its bootable media lacks the Spanish support, and the partition scanning results sometimes can differ from what are displayed in the middle panel. Now all are well fixed in 9.0.

About MiniTool Power Data Recovery

MiniTool Power Data Recovery is designed and developed by MiniTool® Software Limited. This software aims to recover lost files from multiple data storage devices such as internal/external hard drives, USB flash drives, SD cards, etc. Its ease of use and high data recovery efficiency make it popular among the European and American.

About MiniTool Software Limited

MiniTool® Software Limited has been working on the field of disk management and data recovery for more than a decade. By now its products involve MiniTool Partition Wizard, MiniTool Power Data Recovery and MiniTool ShadowMaker. In recent years, MiniTool has entered the market of multi-media to develop professional software in video download, video editing, and video conversion.

Kuaishou Cements its Place among China’s Internet Giants: Latest Industry Report

Leave a comment

The app has reported 41.5% YoY growth of MAUs

BEIJING, Aug 7, 2020 — Short videos and livestreaming are no longer niche industries, as shown by data collected by Quest Mobile (QM), a big data monitoring agency. The company recently released its highly influential China Internet 2020 report. Kuaishou, a Tencent-backed company, was given special mention in the report, as both its user growth and revenue share surpassed market expectations.

Kuaishou, one of the most popular short video platforms in China, reported a 41.5% YoY growth from June 2019. Recording over 300 million daily active users (DAUs), Kuaishou has outgrown its more established competitors and has shown that it is here to stay.

Kuaishou is the only short video platform that gained the most user numbers with its short video and live broadcast platforms (Kuaishou Lite and Kuaishou) occupying the 4th and 5th place, respectively, according to figures from the June 2020 Internet Activity Ranking.

According to QM’s report, the monthly active users (MAU) of the livestreaming and short video sector increased to 852 million in China. The sector accounts for nearly 20% of total network user duration, second only to instant messaging. It also became the second largest industry in the media space and surpassing even the online video industry in terms of advertising revenue. Overall, the industry’s revenue pie has grown by 30% YoY.

Kuaishou was credited with organizing the Spring Festival Gala and attracting the likes of celebrities such as Jay Chou and Lang Lang to conduct record-breaking livestreams on its platform. Kuaishou saw success as over 910 million people watched the Gala, of which 79.6% watched via short video platforms. The ability of short videos to attract and retain users have normalized the mainstream population, even in China’s first-and-second-tier cities.

The report also showed that Kuaishou emerged as the popular choice for millions of Chinese livestreaming e-commerce sellers, including e-commerce giants like JD.com. The QM report credited Kuaishou’s livestreaming effort as a substantial driver of the growing e-commerce industry in China. The industry so far has been embraced by over 1 billion users, of which 100 million, or 10%, are from Kuaishou.

China has shown the effectiveness of short video and livestreaming content in driving commercialization. Platforms like Kuaishou are driving individuals, enterprises, industries, and governments to experiment with using new content forms to achieve transformation, growth and development.
