is 7zip necessary nowadays? can the built in zip/unzip feature be enough?
- Bluecobra 4y agoThe built in one only supports .zip format AFAIK. 7zip supports basically everything you will come across including .rar and .gz. Also it’s nice to have the Explorer shortcuts (right click, unzip here).
- cshokie 4y agoWindows has a version of tar included nowadays which helps with some of the non-zip formats (although only from the command line).
- unionpivo 4y agoDoesn't work on all zip files I receive. Doesn't support the bz2 and other that are quite frequent in my environment. I haven't tested it, but my perception is that it's slower when there are a lot of small files.
