![]() ![]() It is handcrafted to make it the most customizable way to archive and unarchive files on a Mac. It’s called Archive Utility, and can be found via a Spotlight search. A-Zippr is a simple, fast, and powerful utility to open zip, RAR, and other archives like 7z, SIT, and TAR, and more than 70+ different file formats, and compress them in 8 commonly used archive formats. Supported file formats include Zip, Tar-GZip, Tar-BZip2, RAR, 7-zip, LhA, StuffIt and many other more and less obscure formats. ![]() You can change the destination of your compressed files by opening the app that does the compression. How to make zip files save somewhere else You can use a free app such asįolderWasher to remove dot files before creating the zip. These are Mac system files and can be ignored. Note that Windows users decompressing your zip will also see ‘dot files’ – files and folders whose filenames are preceded by dots or sometimes underscores (such as ‘.DS_Store’ or ‘_MACOSX’). Once zipping has completed, drag the folder you created to the Trash. Then hold down Ctrl and click the folder, selecting the Compress option on the menu. Drag and drop the files you want to be in the zip, but hold down Alt before releasing the mouse button so the files are copied there. To compress several files and/or folders, create a new folder (Shift +Ĭmd + N) within Finder or on the desktop and name it whatever you want the zip to be called. You can delete the original file if you wish, but you won’t be able to view or use the zipped file in its present form: you’ll need to unzip it first. zip file can now be emailed to a friend or simply stored until needed. ![]()
