What is a .B6Z file?
A .B6Z file is a type of compressed folder, similar to a zip file, but it's made specifically by a program called B6Zip, which works on macOS computers. This program is used to make files smaller (compress) and to open them back up (decompress). It can work with many types of files, like .ZIP (a common compressed file type), .TAR (often used on Linux systems), and .RAR (another type of compressed file).
When you have a .B6Z file, it means you have one or more files that have been squished together to take up less space. This is really useful if you have big files or lots of files and you want to make them easier to send to someone over the internet or just save space on your computer. It's also a way to keep files safe, because you can compress sensitive information so it's not as easily accessed by others.
To open a .B6Z file, you need to use the B6Zip program. This is the software that knows how to properly unpack or decompress the .B6Z file so you can see and use the files inside it just like before they were compressed. If you're using a macOS computer and you need to open a .B6Z file, you should make sure you have B6Zip installed to do this.
