What is a FILE file?

A .file file is a generic file and does not related to any specific format. Different softwares that do not recognize the file format of particular file append .file extension. For example, If a browser encounters a file type it doesn’t recognize, it might prompt the user to choose an application to open the file or save it with a generic name. In some cases, the absence of a recognizable extension might lead to confusion, but it is not common for browsers or operating systems to automatically append a “.file” extension
