Forensic Services
Cloud Data Extraction
Lawful forensic extraction from iCloud, Google, Microsoft 365, Facebook, Instagram, and 100+ cloud platforms. We extract messages, photos, activity history, and deleted data — with full chain-of-custody documentation and court-admissible reports.
Evidence We Recover
What We Can Extract from the Cloud
Cloud accounts contain a comprehensive record of communications, activity, and shared data — much of which persists even after deletion on the device.
iCloud & Google Account Extraction
iCloud and Google accounts contain a complete backup of your device data — messages, photos, location history, and more — independent of the physical phone. We can often recover data from cloud backups when the device itself is unavailable or has been wiped.
- iMessage and SMS backup history
- iCloud Drive files and documents
- Google Gmail and Drive content
- Google Photos including deleted
- Google Maps location history
- iCloud Keychain and notes
Microsoft 365
- Exchange email — current and deleted
- OneDrive files and version history
- Teams messages and channels
- SharePoint content
- Calendar and contact data
Social Platforms
- Facebook messages and activity
- Instagram DMs and posts
- WhatsApp cloud backup
- Snapchat account data
- Dropbox and cloud storage

Oxygen Cloud Extractor — Lawful Cloud Forensics at Scale
Oxygen Cloud Extractor is the industry-leading tool for lawful cloud account extraction. It connects directly to cloud service APIs to retrieve account data — including content that has been deleted from app interfaces but retained server-side — with full chain-of-custody documentation throughout.
Direct API extraction
Bypasses app-level deletion to retrieve raw account data directly from the platform's servers — recovering messages, photos, and activity records that are no longer visible to the account holder.
100+ cloud services supported
From iCloud and Google to Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Snapchat, and Dropbox — Oxygen Cloud Extractor covers the widest range of platforms available in any forensic tool.
Full extraction documentation
Every cloud extraction is logged with request parameters, API response metadata, timestamps, and hash values — creating a complete audit trail for chain-of-custody compliance.

The Process
How Cloud Extraction Works
Authority Verified
We confirm lawful authority to access the account — account holder consent or appropriate legal process. No extraction proceeds without this step.
Cloud Extraction
Using Oxygen Cloud Extractor, we connect to the platform's API and download all available data — current content and recoverable deleted records.
Data Analysis
We process and organise the extracted data, identifying the specific content relevant to your matter and documenting findings with timestamps.
Court-Ready Report
A forensic report with methodology, findings, and analyst declaration is delivered — structured for Australian court and tribunal proceedings.

Practical Guidance
Before You Call Us
A few simple steps taken now can significantly improve what we're able to recover — and how well your evidence holds up in court.
Stop using the device
Every action taken on a phone or computer after an incident can overwrite deleted data. The sooner you stop using it, the better your chances of recovery.
Don't delete anything
Even if messages or files seem damaging, deleting them now can harm your case and may itself be viewed unfavourably by a court. Leave everything as it is.
Do not factory reset
A factory reset makes forensic recovery significantly harder and in some cases impossible. Even if advised by someone else — do not reset the device before speaking to us.
Write down what happened
A brief timeline — what occurred, when, and what you're hoping to find — helps us focus the examination and give you a more accurate assessment on your first call.
