How to open YBD file?
An often recurring problem with YobiDrive Link Format is that YBD is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file YBD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the YBD 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 YobiExplorer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that YobiExplorer is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name YobiExplorer into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support YBD files.
Programs to open YBD file
Remember to download programs supporting YBD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of YobiExplorer with YBD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the YBD file still does not use the YobiExplorer program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 YBD file with the YobiExplorer program.
Step 3. Update YobiExplorer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the YobiExplorer program with the YobiDrive Link Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the YBD file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the YBD file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 YBD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected YBD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the YBD files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged YBD files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file YBD 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the YBD file to another location will fix the problem.
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 YBD file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the YBD file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
