I'm unable to open a file. Google drive says that "this file type is UNSUPPORTED".Can you help me?

I use Google Drive to open a file but I'm unable to do it and the system says that this kind of file is unsupported. Could you suggest me something please?

Without knowing what type of file it is - no. The best we can say with the information provided is that you'd need to look at the type of file it is and find an app that will open that file type. If you post back with some more detail we might be able to make a suggestion.

Welcome to Android Central! In the Google Drive app, tap the 3 vertical dot menu button associated with the file, then Open With. Does it suggest any apps there?

Also, try going to your Google Drive website on your computer browser, and right-click the file, then Open With. Does it suggest any programs there to open the file with?
