The Zip Directory Step is used to compress files and folders from a specified directory into a single .zip archive. This step helps organize multiple files into one archive, save storage space, and make data transfer more efficient. It allows compressing a specified directory into one zip archive, optionally including all subdirectories. Compressing files enhances organization by condensing multiple files into one and speeds up upload/download times, making data sharing efficient.
To create a zip file, first select the option to Include Sub Directory to include subfolders in the zip. Next, enter the exact Path To Zip of the directory to be compressed. Finally, specify the desired name for the zip file.
