GFS Troubleshooting
Common GFS Opening Problems
Glary Utilities 5 is Not Installed
When trying to open your GFS file, you get the error "Can't Open GFS File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to Glary Utilities 5 missing in %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your GFS with Glary Utilities 5, so double-clicking the file won't work.
Tip: Another GFS-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
Obsolete Version of Glary Utilities 5
In other instances, your Glarysoft Split File file version may not be supported by your version of Glary Utilities 5. If you do not have the proper version Glary Utilities 5 (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.
Tip: If you right-click on your GFS file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening GFS files are due to having the wrong version of Glary Utilities 5 installed.
