What you can do

Create ZIP archives and extract ZIP or RAR, including password-protected compression and extraction.

How to use it

  1. Select files to package and choose Compress.
  2. Set an archive name and optional password, then create the ZIP.
  3. Open a supported archive and follow the extraction prompts; enter its password if needed.

Authorized device and iCloud folders also support compression and extraction. Choose a writable extraction destination; the space picker offers FileBox spaces and authorized folders.

Before you start

Duplicate names inside archives are retained with numbered names according to the applicable rules. Extraction depends on the archive format, encryption method and file integrity. Download an iCloud archive first, then tap it again to choose an extraction destination. Success means the target system folder accepted the output, not that cloud syncing has finished.
