All about __INFO Files
The __INFO file type is primarily associated with SQLite.
What is an __INFO file?
__INFO files mostly belong to SQLite. __INFO files mainly come in two forms. The most common form is an SQLite database file that holds Telegram MTProto Proxy information. This file stores internal data used to manage proxy settings for secure connections.
Another form of __INFO files acts as a metadata file for directories, holding Telegram cloud file details. This file organizes information about directory contents for cloud storage.
To open the SQLite version, use a database browser. Visit SQLite for tools and more information. For the metadata version, a text editor or a specialized program such as ExifTool can be used.
