unzip files

[jakobroehrl]

maybe it would be possible to unzip files

[Noxmiles]

Not needed, there is already an app for that:
https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/extract

Supported :
Zip
Rar
Tar
Gzip
7z
Deb
Bzip2

I think zip and unzip should be in the same app.

Also, I find that it is impossible to use the extract app on Nextcloud 25.

It would be really good to have both functions, zip and extract in one app. Better to maintain and easier to handle compatibility issues - the extract app has still no support for NC25.

Extract appears to still work with NC25 & NC26 per reports if force enabled, but not sure the status of current maintainer:

LibreCodeCoop/extract#98
LibreCodeCoop/extract#101

Extract does not work on 28+ and appears abandoned by dev. It would be good to get functionality ported over here. The cronjob based method makes for a better UX here too I believe.

Please provide unzipping, the "extract" app is not working any longer and it appears it won't come back.
Thanks!

I think it's really sad that this has to be an "app" feature... it seems so basic...

[burntoc]

Really embarrassing this is not planned. I enjoy NC, but it sure is stuck in the 20th century, lol.

there is now archive manager, which also allows "mounting" zip files on the web: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/files_archive

[Fuseteam]

the reason by this isn't a core feature is also explained nicely on the corresponding repo: https://github.com/rotdrop/nextcloud-app-files-archive?tab=readme-ov-file#zip-bombs

Works fine for me, thanks for the hint. 👍

[wdburgdorf]

Mounting is not the same as unzipping. The archive app is rather difficult to use, impossible for the average user (clients ...). It is also erratic, in my tests it sometimes extracted only half of the zip file content. Please, give Nextcloud a real unzipper.
