What is a .GTABLE file?
A .GTABLE file is a type of shortcut file that was used to quickly access a fusion table. Fusion tables were a tool provided by Google that allowed users to manage, visualize, and share large amounts of data online. These tables were stored on Google Drive, and the .GTABLE file contained information to direct you to the specific table it was linked to. It also included details about the Gmail account that made the table. However, it's important to know that .GTABLE files and Google Fusion Tables are no longer in use because Google has stopped supporting Google Fusion Tables.
Even though .GTABLE files are outdated, you can still open them using any basic text editing software. This is because, at their core, they are simple text files that contain the shortcut information. Programs that can open these files include: - Microsoft Notepad, which is a basic text editor included with Windows operating systems. - Any other text editor, which means any program designed to edit plain text files can work. Examples include Notepad++ on Windows, TextEdit on Mac, or Gedit on Linux. - On Chrome OS, Google Chrome’s built-in text editor can also open these files.
Remember, opening a .GTABLE file in a text editor will only show you the shortcut information it contains, such as the link to the fusion table and the associated Gmail account, but you won't be able to access the actual fusion table since the service is discontinued.
