Winzip Joins the Android App Party
The favourite of most folk who’ve ever had to compress files together into a single file has been WinZip. Not sure if it’s responsible for the etymology of us saying ‘zip the files’ or not, but it’s pretty much THE go to for most. Even tho’ most OS’s now have something built in.
Heck, most of the file explorers and intranet browsers I showed you the other day have some support for .zip files already.
Well, the folk at WinZip didn’t want to be left out, and now they have an Android app!
