FAQ
Q1: I used WinZip to protect a folder of files with a password, but the list of files can still be viewed. Why?
A1: Even though the files or folder is encrypted, the file names can still be viewed (but not the file content). For this reason, we recommend that you avoid using confidential information in file or folder names. For example, avoid using account numbers or ID numbers (such as a social insurance number) in file or folder names.

Q2: I am using WinZip to compress JPEGs, but the size didn’t change much. Why?
A2: In order to compress your photos as much as possible, without any loss of photo quality, in the app Settings, choose Zipx (Best Method). This compression method examines each file and selects the compression option most likely to supply the best compression results.

Ratings and reviews

I downloaded the app, but it kept popping up an unrelated ad. Also, if you read the permissions you're giving it, it reads: "This app will be able to read, modify, and delete all files on this phone or any connected storage devices. If you allow this, the app may access files that aren't related to the app without notifying you." I'm sorry, but I don't want an app accessing files it isn't related to nor having the ability to delete ALL files on the phone or any connected storage. Uninstalling!

I downloaded it to unzip a file. Litterally could not get it to do that. Gives me plenty of options up front: storage, file, dropbox, or google drive. When I try the cloud options I have to make some sort of purchase which came with an ad making it unclear if I had to buy that app/product or something internal to winzip. When I tried the storage option it wasnt set up to write to an SD card. Said it had to be rooted...What? Suffice to say, overly complicated for an uncomplicated issue.

Useless and time consuming. I used to love this app but now it doesn't even display my files ony SD Card. The user manual is outdated and I have to go to my files just to select the folder to unzip. I used to be able to select/unzip multiple files. Instead of an update, this app has been downgraded. I wouldn't recommend it if you need multiple files from your external storage unzipped without going through a bunch of time consuming steps. It should've stayed as simple as it used to be

What's new

Fixed the issue that WinZip will crash after reopening from the background.
