There are many reasons could cause the data loss, such as, you mistakenly click the “Deletion” button and important files like photos lost in seconds; you may factory reset/format your nexus device which you didn’t mean to, everything just gone; your phone/tablet is attacked by unknown virus someday, the important files lost; the phone stuck/freeze when you are rooting/updating/transferring; or you just cannot find your files and they lost even without realizing it.
If you lost data due to the reasons mentioned above, I’m glad to tell you it is possible to get back the lost photos, videos from nexus with a reliable nexus photo recovery tool as long as the files haven’t been overwritten.
