About ZIP Folders

• A zip file is a file format that can contain multiple files combined and compressed into one file.
• Files that are zipped have a file extension of . zip.
• Since it's a type of compressed file, a zip file can be smaller in size than the files it contains. This makes the zip file easier and faster to download.
• To view contents of a zip, you need to extract the contents from it.

2. Press and hold (or right-click) the file or folder, select (or point to) Send to, and then select Compressed (zipped) folder.
