7Z: Zip 7Zip Rar File Manager 2.4.01

7Z allows you to effectively manage archive files such as 7Zip (7z format), zip, rar, jar, or APK on your device. With this app, you can easily extract, open, view, or create your own archive by compressing files and folders.

Features:

• Supports all common archive formats and types, including zip, rar, 7zip, 7z, jar, apk, tar, and gzip.
• Create password-protected zip files or unzip files.
• Create archives with high compression, similar to 7Zip or Tar.
• Unzip zip files or extract encrypted 7Zip or 7z files (password required).
• Browse the contents of archive formats that contain multiple files such as 7Zip, 7z, Tar, Apk, Jar, and Rar.
• Background execution: create, extract, or unzip files even when the app is closed.
• Intuitive file manager with standard operations like move, copy, and delete.
• Job progress and history tracking.
• File associations for extensions (e.g., 7z) allow you to open files externally.

Here's why you should consider using 7Z:

• Safeguard your files and folders by encrypting them within password-protected zip files. Encryption provides a secure way to protect your files.
• Archiving allows you to reduce file size and compress multiple files into a smaller file for easier email or sharing purposes.
• You can zip large files on your Android device that are rarely used to save disk space. Unzip them again later when needed.

More about archives:

Archives come in various formats, each with its unique compression algorithm. 7Z supports all the common archives, such as 7Zip, 7Z, Rar, and Zip, but it also supports less commonly used archives.

Archives are typically found on the internet and require extraction before their contents can be accessed. Unzipping files is necessary to use them.

Sometimes archives are encrypted, requiring a password for extraction. The password is usually provided by the original author and included in the download.

Some information about archive formats:

• Rar and zip files have been standard forms of archive compression for decades. Zip files remain popular as they were popularized by Winzip on computers years ago. They also support encryption and have a .zip extension.
• 7zip (7z) is an open-source compression format that offers high compression, speed, and reliability. It supports multiple files and has a .7z extension.
• Rar is less popular nowadays compared to 7z and zip. It offers higher compression than zip but lacks the simplicity of zip files. Rar files have a .rar extension.
• Jar and APK archives use compression technology similar to zip but serve different purposes. Jar archives are usually Java archives and have a .jar extension, while APK is used to store Android applications and has an .apk format.
• The tar format provides a high compression ratio for multiple files and is often combined with GZip compression (gz). It is particularly popular on Linux systems.
• 7Z also supports other compression formats like DEFLATE, LZMA, XZ, ZStandard, as well as the less commonly used Pack200.
