This plugin allows you to view media files downloaded from iCloud using the Elcomsoft Phone Breaker program.

 

NOTE: This plugin is only available for iCloud synced data.

 

The following general information about the media files is available:

 

Total number of files in the backup and the number of files shown

The number of video and image files in the backup and currently shown. You can also view the size of all files in each category.

 

The most recent files are displayed on top of the grid. The date and time of each file corresponds to the date and time of the last file modification in iCloud.

To export media files, check them and click Export. It is possible to export checked media files, filtered files or all files.

 

EPV also allows you a unique capability to view all deleted files, which are loaded with the use of two different Media source filters:

 

Recently Deleted. It filters the files which have been deleted from the device but can still be viewed in iCloud and in the corresponding folder on the device.

Recovered. It filters the files which have been deleted from the device but can no longer be viewed on the device nor in iCloud, only in EPV.

Enable filtering by switching the On/Off toggle and define the filtering options:
