The zip file is password protected, something that makes me think why you should password protect some statistical data. There is nothing specified in any user agreement about this practice and is breaking the user privacy.Īnother identified thing is that the OpenFile is uploading a zip file when you want to open unknown files. The problem is that OpenFile is sending to TrendMicro servers data about your Mac system, paths, and what exactly are you doing. TrendMicro had even allowed access to their servers to this developer. There is a strong connection between TrendMicro and the Open Any File developer. NONE OF THEM HAS SO MANY POSITIVE REVIEWS. Have a look at other "Open file" apps on the AppStore which are doing identical thing. Judging by how intrusive is this app and the real fact that is NOT opening any file I only can take a simple conclusion that the five stars positive reviews that this app has are fake. The developer is abusing the Apple AppStore review system. NOW I AM ASKING MYSELF, HOW RELIABLE IS THE MOST TOP SOLD ANTIVIRUS FROM THE APP STORE?Ģ. What is worse is that this app is promoting the Trend Micro Antivirus for Mac, let me think that this company HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS. The app is acting as malware because after you install it, it takes control over your Mac and it places it as default file opener for all the extensions they have written in the Plist file. Why is doing it? Because when you download a file from the internet, and you don't have an application to open it, you can go to Open with AppStore option and what happens is that AppStore will show you which app has your file extension in their plist file (in our case Open Any Files: RAR Support. ![]() The developer of Open Any Files is abusing this feature by adding a large set of extensions into the Info.Plist file, tricking the MacOS System that this app can open this kind of files. The files extensions system was done by Apple for the developers for ONLY one reason: For example, if you code an application that can open a PDF file, you can add a rule into the Info.Plist file telling to the MacOS system to add your application as the opener for the PDF File. The developer is fake reviewing this app to fraud the Apple AppStore system and trick Mac users to download itġ. The app is acting like a malware abusing the Mac and AppStore system to gain downloads and promoting another app.Ģ. The application name is Open Any Files: RAR Support. Will likely uninstall soon.Another day after Christmas and I found out another application abusing the AppStore Apple system and end users. Nothing else to do, no option to open the Media you double-clicked on, UNLESSSSSSS you're willing to let it open using an app you haven't yet downloaded instead of the app you already have, that you previously and still have listed as default!! Aggravating. It's like slapping me in the face with a dead fish and exclaiming, "Hey! Here is one or more apps that can open that type of file", and then it stops there. Instead, I just get a stupid Open Any File Window with no way to view the media I'm trying to open. ![]() Oftentimes, I simply want to double-click to open any file I want, and have it open using whatever file I want anytime I want, with whatever is configured as the default app to open it. ![]() But ultimately it's become more a hindrance and an impairment to my PC, seemingly acting like a go-between for any file I open (mostly video file formats). I installed this maybe a month or more ago and it has some cool features, such as showing you what apps are compatible w/certain file formats.
