How to open SSB file?

The main problem with SmartSync Pro Program Setting is that the SSB file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that SSB files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SSB 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 SmartSync Pro

In this case, you should first verify that the SmartSync Pro application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name SmartSync Pro into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SSB files.

Programs to open SSB file

Remember to download programs supporting SSB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of SmartSync Pro with SSB files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SSB file still does not use the SmartSync Pro program, it means no 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SSB file with the SmartSync Pro application.

Step 3. Update SmartSync Pro to the latest version

If, despite the association of the SmartSync Pro program with the SmartSync Pro Program Setting file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the SmartSync Software website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SSB file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to SSB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SSB file. Sometimes virus-infected SSB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SSB files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SSB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use SmartSync Software help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SSB 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move SSB to a different directory.
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 SSB file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
