What is LOCALSTORAGE file?
The file in the LOCALSTORAGE format belongs to the Data Files category. The creator of this file is The WebKit Open Source Project. In addition to this file, the Data Files category includes 1326 related files. WebKit Local Storage Data Format is supported by 4 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on iOS, Linux, Mac OS, Windows. It is recommended to use Google Chrome to handle this file. This is a program created by Google Inc.. There are also 5 alternative programs to handle the LOCALSTORAGE file. The Safari programs will also handle the file when the Google Chrome program does not fulfill its role.
How to open LOCALSTORAGE file?
The most common problem when using WebKit Local Storage Data Format is that a specific LOCALSTORAGE is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open LOCALSTORAGE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LOCALSTORAGE 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 Google Chrome
In this case, you should first verify that the Google Chrome application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Google Chrome into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file LOCALSTORAGE with Google Chrome. Below is a list of programs that support the file LOCALSTORAGE.
Programs to open LOCALSTORAGE file
Remember to download programs supporting LOCALSTORAGE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Google Chrome with LOCALSTORAGE files
If, despite the installed application, the LOCALSTORAGE file does not start in the Google Chrome application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Google Chrome application as the default for handling the LOCALSTORAGE file.
Step 3. Update Google Chrome to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Google Chrome program with the WebKit Local Storage Data 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 Google Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LOCALSTORAGE file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the LOCALSTORAGE file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LOCALSTORAGE or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LOCALSTORAGE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of LOCALSTORAGE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LOCALSTORAGE file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact The WebKit Open Source Project
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LOCALSTORAGE files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. Copying the LOCALSTORAGE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LOCALSTORAGE to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LOCALSTORAGE file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
