Adding files to a zip folder in Windows is simple and straightforward. To begin, open the folder that contains the files you want to add to the zip folder. Once you have opened the folder, select all of the files you want to add to the zip folder. To do this, press and hold down the Ctrl button while clicking on each file. Once all of the desired files have been selected, right-click on one of these files and select “Send to” followed by “Compressed (zipped) folder.”
Before you click “Compressed (zipped) folder,” you may want to change the name of the zip folder. To do this, simply click on the words “Compressed (zipped) folder” and insert your desired name for the zip folder. Once you are done, click “Compressed (zipped) folder” to create the zip folder.
The zip folder will now appear as its own file in the parent folder. To view the content of the zip folder, simply double-click on it. This will open the zip folder, revealing the files that were added to it.
You can also add additional files to an existing zip folder. To do this, open the parent folder where the zip folder is located and double-click on the zip folder to open it. Then, navigate to the folder that contains the files you want to add and select those files. Next, drag and drop the selected files into the opened zip folder. This will add the selected files to the existing zip folder.
Aside from adding files to existing zip folders, you can add them to new zip folders as well. To do this, open the parent folder that contains the files you want to put into a new zip folder. Then, select the files you want to add and right-click on any of them. From the dropdown menu, select “Send to” followed by “Compressed (zipped) folder.” This will create a new zip folder with the selected files inside it.
You can also use Windows’ built-in compression tool to add files to a zip folder. To do this, open the folder where the files you want to add are located. Then select all files that you want to compress. Next, right-click on any of the selected files and select “Send to” followed by “Compressed (zipped) folder.” This will launch the Windows’ Compression Tool.
Finally, click the “Add to Archive” button to create the zip folder and add the selected files to it. The resulting zip folder will be stored in the parent folder, and you can view its content by double-clicking on it.
In conclusion, adding files to a zip folder in Windows is simple and straightforward. To do this, select the files you want to add, right-click on any of them, and select “Send to” followed by “Compressed (zipped) folder.” Alternatively, you can use Windows’ built-in compression tool to create the zip folder and add the selected files to it. In any case, the zip folder should appear in the parent folder with the added files inside it.
