With the all-new WinZip 25, we've put in the hard work so you can manage your files faster than ever before.
And that's not a bad thing.The world's #1 zip utility just got even better.
WinZip has a lot of features and mini-features but it is ultimately as useful as it has always been. Creating a backup out of the cloud is buggy.Having access to popular cloud accounts is quite useful.Unfortunately you cannot schedule a backup plan so you're required to perform it manually. Whenever you run it, it will update from the selected sources. You create a backup file and then add specific files to it. This is still available for obvious reasons. Right clicking on files is enough to create archives or unpack them. Otherwise, if you're used to using WinZip, you know that there's not really necessary to open up the main window. Users can log into multiple cloud storage accounts like Dropbox, OneDrive or Google Drive to name a few. WinZip can also retrieve cloud based files and add them to an archive. The files can be encrypted, documents can be automatically converted to PDF (yes, you read it right) and pictures can be automatically resized and watermarked. There are quite a few options to chose from when adding to an archive. Deleting them will simply remove them from focus (not delete them). Once on the main panel, the file will form the subject of different possible actions. This can be done by dragging and dropping or from the included mini file manager on the left. Most of them don't do much unless you add some files in the main view panel.
It features a lot of options that are accessible from the top bar menu. Sending attachments, sharing to social media, uploading to and from the cloud as well as sending files over an instant messenger. The problem derives from the fact that WinZip now tries to change the way you do stuff on your PC. The new WinZip interface is modern as is confusing. Not only that, but now it strives to become more than a window that you never use. Lo and behold, the new WinZip has a new interface, worthy of admittance in the the MS Office package. Since there are valid options to create and unpack archives for free, good old WinZip had to do something in order to keep a praemium on its software product.
