Notes

  • You would be able to add files or folders to a zipped folder you created earlier, drag them to the zipped folder.
  • In case you encrypted files to a zipped folder, they'll be unencrypted when you have unzipped that file, which might result in unintentional disclosure of your personal sensitive information. That’s why we recommend that you avoid zipping encrypted files.
  • Some types of file formats, like JPEG images, are already highly compressed. However, if you zip several JPEG pictures into a folder, the total size of the folder will be about the same size as the original collection of pictures.
  • Advantages of Compressing Files
  • Compressed files take up less storage space
  • Can be transferred to other computers more quickly than an uncompressed file.

    In a single zipped folder, you can combine Several Files to more easily share a group of files.
