The indexdirectory file extension is related to Spotlight, an indexing process of Mac OS X (macOS).
Whenever an USB flash disk is plugged to a Mac computer, Spotlights creates two hidden folders .trashes and .spotlight-V100 on it.
The indexdirectory file is created inside the .spotlight-V100 folder. These files are most likely used only for indexing purposes.
