The Zip Directory Step is a critical tool for compressing files and folders into a single .zip file, making it easier to manage and share data. This step allows users to compress a specified directory into one zip archive, optionally including all subdirectories. Compressing files helps save storage space, enhances organization by condensing multiple files into one, and speeds up upload/download times, making data sharing efficient and hassle-free.
To create a zip file, first, select the option to Include Sub Directory if you want to include subfolders in your zip. Next, enter the exact Path To Zip of the directory you wish to compress. Finally, specify the desired Name for the zip file, ensuring it ends with .zip.
