What is a .ESCOPY file?
The .ESCOPY file extension is associated with a type of temporary file created by the ES File Explorer File Manager, which is an application designed for managing files on Android devices. These temporary files are specifically used during processes such as downloading or copying files on the device. For instance, if you are downloading or copying an .APK package file (which is an application package file for Android), the .ESCOPY file stores information about this file during the transfer or download process.
The purpose of an .ESCOPY file is to act as a placeholder or a temporary holding point. This is particularly useful if the downloading or copying process gets interrupted—for example, if the device loses power or the app unexpectedly quits. In such cases, the .ESCOPY file ensures that the information is not completely lost and can help resume the process once it's restarted.
The .ESCOPY file extension typically appears as a compound extension, which means it adds onto the original file's extension. For example, if an APK file named "example.apk" is being downloaded, the temporary .ESCOPY file would be named "example.apk.escopy" until the download is complete. Once the process is successfully finished, the .ESCOPY extension is removed, and the file reverts to its original format.
To open or manage .ESCOPY files, you would generally use the ES File Explorer File Manager itself on an Android device. This application handles the creation, management, and removal of these temporary files automatically. Users typically do not need to manually open or interact with .ESCOPY files, as they are managed internally by the ES File Explorer app.
In summary, .ESCOPY files are temporary files used by ES File Explorer on Android devices to safely manage the downloading or copying of files. They help protect the integrity of the file data during transfers and are handled automatically by the ES File Explorer File Manager application.
