SendGB files are actually compressed as .zip files on the server during the attaching process. Therefore, to open a SendGB file, you need to open the associated .zip file. Here's how:
Opening a .zip File
.zip files can be opened using built-in tools or dedicated software, depending on your operating system.
Windows
Windows has built-in support for opening .zip files. Here's how:
- Locate the .zip file: Find the SendGB file (which will have a
.zipextension) on your computer. - Right-click the .zip file: A context menu will appear.
- Select "Extract All...": This will start the extraction wizard.
- Choose a destination: Select where you want to save the extracted files. You can create a new folder or choose an existing one.
- Click "Extract": The contents of the
.zipfile will be extracted to the chosen location.
Alternatively, you can also double-click the .zip file to view its contents in File Explorer, as if it were a folder. However, you'll still need to extract the files to use them.
macOS
macOS also has built-in support for .zip files:
- Locate the .zip file: Find the SendGB file (which will have a
.zipextension) on your Mac. - Double-click the .zip file: The Archive Utility will automatically extract the contents of the
.zipfile to a folder in the same location.
Using WinZip or Other Archiving Software
If you prefer, or if you encounter issues with the built-in tools, you can use dedicated archiving software like WinZip, 7-Zip (free), or similar programs.
- Install the software: Download and install your chosen archiving program.
- Locate the .zip file: Find the SendGB file (which will have a
.zipextension) on your computer. - Right-click the .zip file: A context menu will appear.
- Select the archiving software: Choose your installed program (e.g., "7-Zip" -> "Open Archive").
- Extract the files: Follow the software's instructions to extract the files to a desired location.
By following these steps, you can easily open your SendGB file and access the files it contains.
