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.

ZIP/UNZIP is very common feature in applications, which are for file management. Why it is missing it in OneDrive. Please, implement if.

This thread is 4 years old. Every 3rd party app has this feature.
It‘s 2020 MS. Please 😀

Hassle uploading multiple files with only 10 upload limit, without this feature Microsoft O365 Enterprise is defeated by Google Drive.

I thought I didn't find this option in the interface, but I just found it's not implemented yet. I hope this feature will be added in the near future because it's necessary.

Need this unzip feature badly on OneDrive. I have moved from Google drive to OneDrive and dont have enough space on my Hard disk to download and unzip the files.

Zip and unzip would make OneDrive so much more useable.

Why can't you just implement a zip/unzip feature? If this isn't achievable, state it here as well to avoid further comments. Thanks!

We really need this functionality ... Purchased O365 and transferred all of our files over from Google. Now we can’t access them because they are stuck in a ZIP format in OneDrive. This would be a life send.

Please add this functionality of unzipping zipped files in OneDrive it self without downloading the files to PC, i don't think that would be difficult on Microsoft, it's like a FileExplorer ;)

this is madness, I have literally been spending a week doing a file by file upload to a client one drive account, and to add insult to injury the copy keeps on breaking! There seems to be a bug with one drive and chrome, and I can't even do a bulk copy as not even a simple feature of ignoring an existing file or directory and continuing is present when dealing with sub / complex directories structures while copying, which means I have to delete the directory (nested directory and files) I copied and start again.
This means a large bill for the client, one drive mirrors their on-premise exchange just underwhelming in every respect.
A 21GB ZIP uploads fine many small files and directories do not.
P.S. Google Dive does this no issue and has done for some time.

How are we still waiting for this? I transferred over 800Gb to One Drive from Google Drive in the required zip format, which took forever. Now I have to unzip each of the files on my hard drive??!? Sooooo inefficient. What's the point of having One Drive cloud storage if you have to use your own hard drive space to open the files?

Yes, if I had that kind of space on my computer I wouldn't need Onedrive!

This would be a great feature for both education sector and business sector to make OneDrive more competitive/innovative with other cloud drives.
