Step 2. Create association of Google Android with THUMBDATA4 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the THUMBDATA4 file still does not use the Google Android program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the THUMBDATA4 file with the Google Android program.

If, despite the association of the Google Android program with the Google Android Thumbnail Database file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Google Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the THUMBDATA4 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The THUMBDATA4 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to THUMBDATA4 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the THUMBDATA4 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover THUMBDATA4 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of THUMBDATA4 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair THUMBDATA4 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Google Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file THUMBDATA4 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 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. If possible, you can try to move the THUMBDATA4 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the THUMBDATA4 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the THUMBDATA4 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
