The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BTSKEY 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.

Programs to open BTSKEY file
Remember to download programs supporting BTSKEY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BitTorrent with BTSKEY files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BTSKEY file still does not use the BitTorrent program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the BitTorrent application as the default for handling the BTSKEY file.
Step 3. Update BitTorrent to the latest version
If, however, after binding BitTorrent with BitTorrent Sync Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the BitTorrent, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BTSKEY file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BTSKEY file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BTSKEY or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BTSKEY files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BTSKEY file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BTSKEY file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BTSKEY files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move BTSKEY to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BTSKEY file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BTSKEY to close. However, some background programs may block the BTSKEY file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
