How to open RSF file?
An often recurring problem with Mediafour MacDrive Macintosh Resource Fork is that RSF is not associated with the correct program file.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RSF 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 MacDrive
The first step is to check if the computer has the MacDrive program installed. This can be achieved by typing MacDrive into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file RSF.
Programs to open RSF file
Remember to download programs supporting RSF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MacDrive with RSF files
If, despite the installed application, the RSF file does not start in the MacDrive application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RSF file with the MacDrive program.
Step 3. Update MacDrive to the latest version
If, however, after binding MacDrive with Mediafour MacDrive Macintosh Resource Fork there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Mediafour Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RSF file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RSF file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 RSF file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RSF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of RSF 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.
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 RSF files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Mediafour Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RSF 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the RSF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the RSF 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 RSF to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
