What is a .THUMBDATA3-1763508120 file?
A .THUMBDATA3-1763508120 file is a special kind of data file that is made by the Gallery app on some Android phones, like the Sony Xperia and HTC Desire SV. This file helps the Gallery app work faster by keeping track of all the small preview pictures, called thumbnails, that the app has looked at and organized. These thumbnails are the tiny versions of your photos and videos that you see before opening them fully. The .THUMBDATA3-1763508120 file is kept in a secret folder named .THUMBNAILS on your Android device. Normally, you can't see this folder because it's hidden, but you can make it visible if you change your device's settings to show hidden files and folders.
To open a .THUMBDATA3-1763508120 file, you don't need any special program apart from the Android device itself and the Gallery app that comes with it. This file is automatically used by the Gallery app to make sure your images and videos are shown quickly when you're browsing through them. So, there's no need to manually open this file, as it's all handled in the background by your phone's Gallery app to improve your viewing experience.
