How to open _GS file?
An often recurring problem with Roboform GoodSync Data is that _GS is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file _GS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the _GS file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install RoboForm
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that RoboForm is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing RoboForm into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file _GS.
Programs to open _GS file
Remember to download programs supporting _GS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RoboForm with _GS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the _GS file to open in the RoboForm application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the _GS file with the RoboForm application.
Step 3. Update RoboForm to the latest version
If, despite the association of the RoboForm program with the Roboform GoodSync Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Siber Systems, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the _GS file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the _GS file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the _GS file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover _GS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the _GS files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair _GS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Siber Systems, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file _GS except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the _GS file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the _GS file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
