OneDrive : Zip and Unzip File
Hello,
I would like to suggest you the basic idea regarding onedrive feature. Please add basic functionality like one can zip and/or unzip files directly on OneDrive so each time we don't have to download and upload files on OneDrive. Also, add the functionality to open zip file without extracting the folder on OneDrive.
Thanks.

Thank you for this suggestion. We don’t have specifics to share, but wanted to provide an update that we are looking into this for future updates.

******* basic feature which is in Windows OS and missing in cloud. The cloud that they created and now thinking whether to introduce this or not?
You have added OS functionalities to open zip files using explorer.exe, so user don't have to buy or install Winzip/Winrar. Now same thing has to be implemented in SPO and ODB. I know backend of SPO and ODB is SQL, but come on, doesn't SQL have any such feature to allow user to compress / decompress the zip files?

This is making my migration from Google so awful I will be strongly recommending against it for anyone else in the future.

Please bring this. Having recently transferred 500GB of zipped Google Music files across, the reality of downloading 270 2GB files, unzipping and reuploading on my 5Mb line is hitting hard.

Much needed feature. Especially in underdeveloped countries Upload bandwidth is always constrained as compared to download. When you have heaps of documents it is much easier to upload zip file saving 80% on bandwidth. This will also significantly reduce migration time.

This certainly would be a useful feature to handle the inevitable usecase. But if we are zipping things to store on the cloud, are we just using the service improperly here? Since the data doesn't need to reside on the client and the back-end is compressing already, zipping isn't needed for normal day to day use, correct??
This behavior used to be very common to email something or save space locally, this isn't really required anymore aside from importing/exporting data.

This would make life much easier... and greatly help with upload speeds!

It's embarrassing that this is not available in 2021. I've wasted hours of time uploading zip files that I'm now going to have to upload again individually. Sort things out Microsoft!

This suggestion would aid migration from Google services to Microsoft cloud, because Google TakeOut already supports porting data directly into OneDrive, but the data arrives as ZIP files. So the files then need downloading from OneDrive, unzipping, and re-uploading to OneDrive.

We are in 2021, there is no Zip support on OneDrive, what a shame.

This should be an existing feature already if Microsoft want to remain a pioneer in PaaS area.
This will greatly reduce the traffic to/from the cloud tiers.

More votes from me! I have some large archive zip files that is a pain to download when I just need an odd file from. Either a way to go into them and pull a file out, or extract directly on the cloud would be great.

I would love to have this feature without having to download, unzip, and upload. Specially for Large sets of Files over 250gb
