How to open FOLX file?
The main problem with Folx Download Format is that the FOLX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file FOLX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FOLX 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 Folx
The first step is to check if the computer has the Folx program installed. This can be achieved by typing Folx into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support FOLX files.
Programs to open FOLX file
Remember to download programs supporting FOLX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Folx with FOLX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FOLX file still does not use the Folx 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Folx application as the default for handling the FOLX file.
Step 3. Update Folx to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Folx program with the Folx Download Format 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 Eltima Software GmbH. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FOLX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The FOLX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FOLX file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 FOLX or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FOLX 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 FOLX files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or 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 option of recovering data from damaged FOLX files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Eltima Software help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file FOLX 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move FOLX to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the FOLX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FOLX to close. However, some background programs may block the FOLX file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
