About .002 files
What a .002 file is, and what's inside it.
A .002 file is the second piece of a larger file that was split into numbered parts (.001, .002, .003 ...). You cannot open the .002 directly - put all parts in one folder and open the first one (the .001) with 7-Zip, WinRAR, or PeaZip. If any part is missing, especially the .001, the set cannot be reassembled.

Do I have to unpack the whole .002 file?
No. The viewer reads its table of contents first and only unpacks a file when you click it. That works even with multi-gigabyte archives, because we read just the bytes we need.
Can I open password-protected archives?
Yes, for ZIP (ZipCrypto and AES) and 7Z. You'll be asked for the password,. We can't recover forgotten passwords.
Is my .002 file uploaded anywhere?
No. The code that unpacks the file is downloaded once and then reused.
Why does a .docx or .apk open as an archive?
Because they are ZIP archives under the hood. Office documents, Android apps, Java programs and EPUB books all use ZIP as their container.
What about split archives (.001, .z01, .part1.rar)?
Multi-part archives need all their parts. Today you can open the first part to see the file list; joining parts is on our roadmap.
