What is the best third-party file recovery app on Mac?

Hello, I would like to know what are the best apps for recovering missing or lost files (that apple approves of). My most important documents went missing from my iCloud and are nowhere to be found. Btw, I chatted and phoned Apple several times about this (it happened 3 days ago), but they literally have no idea what happened or how to recover them. Can anyone please help me?? Thanks!!!

First, check the Recently Deleted folder in your iCloud drive. If you accidentally deleted files in iCloud drive, they will go to this folder by default. If you've turned iCloud sync on all your Apple devices, then you can go to your Mac Trash to find them. However, if you can't find them in Mac Trash, try professional data recovery software to help you get them back from your MBP.

There are many data recovery software in the market, here I advise iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac. iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac is one of the best file recovery software on the market. It is professional, 100% secure, reliable, and easy to use. You can find it in Mac App Store.
