Avast Anti Thief Where go the Audio files on Smarphone
« on: October 15, 2017, 02:51:27 PM »
Hello,

I'm French and i'm english si so bad... Sorry.

The last version (before Avast Mobile Security) of Anti Thief does not work anymore... normal ?

In the last version of Anti Thief the Audio Files goes to the racine in the storage of the smartphone with a name : ec55564331.mp4
Now, if i don't use a storage on google drive where the audio file goes ??? I can not find them...

Thanks for your help.

mp4 is not a audio format but a video format.

AT only will work if you have the paid version of AMS.

Hi, the .mp4 can be an audio file, not an exclusively video format.

Because of some complaints from users we hid the audio files, so that they cannot be found in the mobile device. You can download the recordings from your My Avast account:

- log in to your My Avast Account
- click on the device
- click on "Info"
- click on "Commands""
- right there you will see the recording command
- click the "arrow" on the end of the row and file will be downloaded

Just remember, that the recordings are stored in My Avast account only temporarily (30 days). Therefore we recommend to link the app to your Google account, where you can store them for unlimited period.

What is exactly the procedure to link the app to one's Google account?
Thanks!

- open AMS
- go to the Anti-Theft section
- look there for "Cloud storage for Camera Trap and Recordings"
- select the Cloud storage (Google Drive)
- pick the corresponding Google Account
- that's it - photos and recordings will now go to your Google Drive
