    How can I open a SAF file?

    You need a suitable software like Flashpoint to open a SAF file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your SAF file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SAF file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
