What is a DOCUMENTIDENTIFIER file?

DOCUMENTIDENTIFIER files mostly belong to Finder. DOCUMENTIDENTIFIER files are not traditional documents. They work like macOS alias files that serve as pointers to an original document. When you open one of these files, the operating system uses the stored metadata to locate and open the target file even if it has been moved or renamed.

Identification: This file holds a unique reference to a specific document.

Linking: It acts as a shortcut, much like a macOS alias, to quickly access a document.

System Function: The file is used internally by the operating system to maintain a connection between the file identifier and its target.

FilExt.com usage note: On macOS, the Finder automatically manages these files. On other systems, they might not resolve as expected because the operating system does not use the same alias mechanism.
