But before I delve into it, let us start it this way by throwing little light once again on what zip folder are and their benefits. 

Well…zip folders like any other computer folder that you know are simple folders that contain file(s). Unlike the normal computer folder that you know, zip folders contain compressed file(s). 

In other words, zip folders are mainly used to compress that bulky file(s) of yours to make them easy and faster to upload, transfer or download anywhere. For example, you can decide to compress a 100MB file(s) with a zip folder into a 1MB folder.

Anytime you come across a zip folder, you will see it with the same conventional folder icon, but with a vertical stripe of zip on it, indicating that it is a zip folder.

The first thing you need to do for you to access the compressed file(s) in it is to unzip or extract the files to any location of your choice in your device for easy access.
