Record marked as obsolete and not updated for a long time.
The ssy file extension is associated with ScreenShare, a software program for Microsoft Windows.
An ssy file stores compressed data used by ScreenShare. It is a program-specific data file rather than a general-purpose archive intended for use with common compression utilities.
The ScreenShare software and this format appear to be obsolete, so compatible software may no longer be available or supported.
Open an ssy file with the original ScreenShare software on Microsoft Windows, if it is available. Generic archive utilities are not expected to open this program-specific format correctly.
If ScreenShare is unavailable, there may be no practical way to access the contents of the file.
Use compatible ScreenShare software on Microsoft Windows to open the file. If it provides an export or save option, use that to convert the data.
