7Zip - the tool not the format - is about as unobtrusive to use as it gets, supports every archive format we deal with on a regular basis, has a very tolerable license and provides better feedback than explorer's zip. It also handles our zip files that explorer is known to choke on.
And because we can assume everyone in the office has 7zip, we don't have to create zips for things that go between windows and linux systems.
- mrguyorama 3y ago>unobtrusive We are talking about the program that adds like four options to the right click menu throughout your entire system right?
- Eisenstein 3y agoArguably very useful options. For instance, try using 7zip to extract an .exe installer sometime -- right click on it and extract it into its own dir and see what is in it.

- ls612 3y agoI've used 7zip for a decade and just a couple months ago I discovered in addition to everything I knew about already it also offers it also has a SHA-256 checksum tool in it's context menu! It is legitimately one of the most useful utilities on my system.
