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.

This would be of great use for migrating from Google Photos and Google Drive to Microsoft OneDrive.

If Synology can support direct zip/unzip features via their web browser-based NAS File Station for all their NAS products, then surely Microsoft can do similar for OneDrive online.

This would be a great addition and if it's expensive to do, it could be a paid addon or only for those subscribed to Microsoft 365...

I have to do all the uploading and downloading on a mobile network, so it would be very helpful to have a way of compressing and decompressing the files and folders inside the onedrive website. As of now I have to download and upload several gigabytes of data over the mobile network which is slow and expencive

This is much needed to take OneDrive to the next level. I have struggled for years to upload all my photos as individual files but don't have enough time to get them all up there.

+3 to this feature. I'm trying to shave down my monthly subscription costs and was looking to move my Google Drive over to OneDrive, but the lack of the ability to unzip files directly in OneDrive is making that move look REALLY ill-advised. I'm on a 2Mbs/dn:750kbs/up DSL connection so the option of downloading 100-120 GB of ZIP files then reuploading 150-200 GB of uncompressed files is a non-starter. The option to unzip files directly in OneDrive would make this move a no-brainer, but doing the move now would take not having a brain. Looks like I'm going to be moving over to Google Drive and eliminate my MS365 Family account.

Taking my business away from Google and giving it to Microsoft. I've been a Google customer for years. Now I will be a Microsoft customer for years. With nearly 1TB of photos to transfer, and hundreds of GB of Drive files, unzipping in OneDrive would be life saving (literally saving entire days of my life from being spent on downloading and uploading).

I found this kind of problems in a lot of companies. The DEVS of the company aren't USERS. With luck they are testers or debuggers but not really USERS. USERS knows very well what they need. That's why the company ask for feedback ot to post new ideas from the USERS. They are inside a box without seeing the real world.
What really is unbelievable is that after they get the "new ideas" from the USERS, they don't do anything. Not even a little comment saying why they don't program the "new ideas".
Shame because USERS are really the CUSTOMERS of the company and the origin of the whole business.
Maybe we the USERS are the guilty of this situation, because we still continue being the CUSTOMERS of the company.
