XFSF file extension
The XFSF file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the XFSF files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the XFSF file on each system platform.
What is XFSF file?
The file with the extension XFSF is the Settings Files file type. Settings Files consists of 1305 similar files. BestSync Settings Format is supported by 1 operating systems.

How to open XFSF file?
The most common problem when using BestSync Settings Format is that a specific XFSF is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open XFSF, 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 XFSF 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 BestSync
The first step is to check if the computer has the BestSync program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name BestSync in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open XFSF files.
Programs to open XFSF file
Remember to download programs supporting XFSF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BestSync with XFSF files
If, despite the installed application, the XFSF file does not start in the BestSync 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. 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. 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 BestSync application as the default for handling the XFSF file.
Step 3. Update BestSync to the latest version
If, despite the association of the BestSync program with the BestSync Settings Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the RiseFly Software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XFSF 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to XFSF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XFSF or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected XFSF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the XFSF file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XFSF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted XFSF 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the XFSF 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XFSF file again. However, some background programs may block the XFSF file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
