Open ONEPKG File

ONEPKG files are essentially compressed archives containing multiple OneNote section files (.ONE files).

Common Uses of ONEPKG Files

ONEPKG files are primarily used in the following scenarios:

  • Backup: ONEPKG files are an efficient way to back up your entire OneNote notebook or multiple notebooks at once.
  • Data transfer: When you want to transfer your OneNote notebooks from one computer to another, ONEPKG format allows you to do so conveniently.
  • Sharing: You can share a complete OneNote notebook with other people using the ONEPKG format.

Opening ONEPKG Files

ONEPKG files can be opened using Microsoft OneNote. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open OneNote and click on 'File' in the top left corner.
  2. Click on 'Open' and browse for the ONEPKG file you wish to open.
  3. Select the file and click 'Open'.

OneNote will extract the ONEPKG file and the notebook will appear in OneNote's notebooks list. You can also open ONEPKG files by simply double-clicking the file, provided you have OneNote installed on your computer.

If you don't have access to Microsoft OneNote, there are some third-party applications like Pimlical Desktop that claim to support viewing ONEPKG files. However, the compatibility might not be perfect. If you need to open ONEPKG files frequently, the best way is to use Microsoft OneNote.

ONEPKG File Important Information

ONEPKG files are very useful for backing up, transferring, and sharing your OneNote notebooks. However, they are not universally compatible and can mainly be opened using Microsoft OneNote. If you're planning to share a ONEPKG file, you should ensure the recipient also has access to OneNote.
