Archives make it easy to group files, which can make transferring and copying many times faster. In Zip Manager, add means to compress files and add them to an archive. Extract means to decompress files in an archive, creating separate files on a disk. Sometimes the terms zip or pack are used instead of add, and unzip or unpack instead of extract. Zip archives are typically used in the following cases: · Many files available on the Internet and with electronic services are distributed as zip archives. This way only one file transfer operation (download) is required to obtain all related files, and file transfer time is reduced because the compressed files in an archive are smaller in size. · You may need to send a group of related files. Rather than distributing individual files, it is often easier to distribute the files as an archive to benefit from the file grouping and compression. · Some important files may not be used often. To save disk space, you can compress these files into an archive when they are not used, and decompress (extract) them only when needed.
