Google Drive allows you to download and access unzipped files from your account. You can find unzipped files in the "Files" section of your Google Drive account, organized by folder and file type.
To download an unzipped file, click on the file name to open it, then click the three vertical dots on the top right corner and select "Download." Alternatively, you can right-click on the file and select "Download" from the context menu.
Google Drive also allows you to access unzipped files from any device with an internet connection, making it easy to work on the go. Simply log in to your Google Drive account on any device and access your unzipped files.
Accessing Compressed Files
To access compressed files on Google Drive, you have a few options. You can use ZIP Extractor, a tool that allows you to extract RAR files directly from Google Drive.
With ZIP Extractor, you can double-click the ZIP or RAR file in Google Drive to open a preview screen, and then select ZIP Extractor from the list of connected apps to proceed.
It takes just a few seconds for the extracted RAR files to be saved in Google Drive. You can then view the unzipped files in a newly created folder, which can be downloaded separately.
Another option is to download the ZIP and RAR files from Google Drive first. To do this, select the desired compressed file, right-click, and select "Download."
Alternatively, you can use Extract.me, an online unzipping tool that doesn't require you to have downloaded your files previously from Google Drive. However, you must provide permission to access your Google Drive, and then select the RAR or ZIP file you'd like extracted.
Here are the steps to access compressed files using ZIP Extractor:
- Double-click the ZIP or RAR file in Google Drive to open a preview screen.
- Select ZIP Extractor from the list of connected apps to proceed.
- It takes just a few seconds for the extracted RAR files to be saved in Google Drive.
- View the unzipped files in a newly created folder, which can be downloaded separately.
Note that ZIP Extractor can also extract password-protected zipped folders, and the password is only used on your computer to open the ZIP file and is never sent over the network.
