Opening USAGE Files
The USAGE file type is primarily associated with Text Editor.
What is a USAGE file?
USAGE files mostly belong to Text Editor. USAGE files are data files that record usage information from various systems and applications.
Some files store compressed usage data that track disk and system statistics, while others simply record usage events in a plain log format.
These files come in different internal formats:
Disk Usage Logs: They may be compressed files that store statistics about disk usage. General Usage Statistics: Many are plain log files that document application or device activity. IBM Tivoli Storage: Certain files hold TZRES DLL data and are used with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager. SharePoint Logs: Some files are UTF-8 encoded logs for Microsoft SharePoint; more details are available at Microsoft SharePoint Server. JSON Usage Logs: A few files use JSON to structure device or application usage data.
FilExt.com tip: To view a USAGE file, open it with a text editor if the file is in a readable format (like UTF-8 or JSON). For compressed or proprietary formats, use the originating software or a decompression tool to examine the data.

How to open a USAGE file
You need a suitable software like Text Editor to open a USAGE 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 USAGE file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a USAGE file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
