Watch you'll see it quickly appear here in place of the Finder as the app that's running. What happens is will actually open it in something called the Archive Utility. Just double click on the file like you're going to open it in something. Now to decompress it's even easier than that. I can select a whole arrangement of different things and compress them all into one archive. I can even select multiple folders and then it will compress both those items. I can Control click it and Compress and I get the entire folder compressed. Then I get both of those saved to a single file.
I can quickly hit the Return key and rename it whatever I want. Then you get something named Archive.zip. Then Control click either one of those and it will say Compress 2 items or however many items there are selected. Now if I want to do that with multiple files I can select one file and then I'll select another one holding down the Command key for a multiple selection. If I select that I will get the same file there but with dot zip after it. So look for the option Compress and the name of the file. All I need to do is use the Context menu which I can get to with a two finger click on my trackpad or by Control clicking on a file and then I get the option to Compress. Just as easily you can decompress any zip file that you receive by email or download. This is also known as zipping the files because the zip format is mostly used for compression. So it's very easy to compress a file, group of files, or even folders using a simple command in the Finder on your Mac. Join us and get exclusive content at /patreon.
