Zip Extractor is an online tool that can unzip files stored in Google Drive or from your Downloads folder. This is how you can ZIP files using the Files app on Chrome OS.

This ZIP file is now ready to be shared with people.

This dropdown menu will appear.Ĭlick on ‘ Zip Selection’ and the ZIP with all your selected files will be created in the Downloads folder itself. After you have created such a folder, right-click on the folder. So, all the content that you want to ZIP must be inside that one folder only. Now that you have all the files you want to ZIP in the Downloads folder, create a new folder (by pressing Ctrl + E while in the Files app) and put these files inside that folder. (See Method 2 for zipping/unzipping files stored on Google Drive.) Trying to ZIP files directly from Google Drive does not work on the Files app. It is important to note that all files that you want to ZIP together must be stored on the Downloads folder on Chrome OS. The zipped file, then, will be as large as the sum of all the files it contains. On the Chromebook, however, the zipping function only zips files together without compressing them at all. It also functions as a file compressor on most operating systems. Zipping is the most common method of sharing folders with other people. We can sometimes need to send a folder of documents, or some images bundled together in a single file. This method only works if the ZIP file is in the Downloads folder on your Chromebook. Note: Trying to open a ZIP file from Google Drive will show an error message. These files will then be available to access outside of the zip, and you can ‘eject’ the ZIP file by pressing the arrow button on the right side of the file in the sidebar. In order to extract your required files from this mounted zip, all you need to do is copy the contents of this mounted drive and paste them outside, in the downloads folder. They mount these files in such a manner that the zipped content then becomes accessible through the mounted ZIP file. So why is your ZIP file showing up there? Well, because Chrome OS handles ZIP files like external storage. This sidebar is usually the place where connected USB drives or SD cards would show up. If you double click on a zipped file, you will notice that the file shows up on the left sidebar of the Files app. All rights reserved.The Chrome OS Files app, while fairly minimalistic, does decompress zipped files. We need your help to improve it :)Ĭopyright© 2008-2023 Bandisoft International Inc. This page has not been translated yet or has been machine-translated.
