Combine Multiple Files into a Zipped Folder

  1. Select your files
    • Find the files you want to send
    • Hold down the Ctrl (Control) key and click on each file to select multiple files.
    2. Tip: If you have a lot of files, you can move them all into a new folder and zip the folder instead.
  2. Create the zipped folder
    • Right-click on one of the selected files (or the folder).
    • Then select:
      Compress to → ZIP File
  3. Rename your zipped file
    • A folder of the compressed files is created and automatically uses one of the file names for the zipped file. If you zipped a folder it will automatically use the folder name. You can rename it to something more descriptive.

That’s it! Your files are now combined into one easy-to-send zipped folder.
