1. A three-dimensional data storage method, comprising:
acquiring one or more units in which an encoded information generated by encoding three-dimensional data is stored; and
storing the one or more units into a file, wherein
the file indicates an encoding method used in the encoding of the three-dimensional data out of a plurality of encoding methods including a first encoding method and a second encoding method,
the file is in conformity with a predetermined file format,
when the three-dimensional data is encoded by the first encoding method, the generated encoded information is stored in a first unit having a first format,
when the three-dimensional data is encoded by the second encoding method, the generated encoded information is stored in a second unit having a second format different from the first format, and
each of the first unit and the second unit includes a header and a payload, the payload including encoded data or metadata, the header including information indicating a type of data included in the payload.
