We’ll show you how to use “ES File Explorer” to create a zip file from files on your device.

What if you want to transfer files off of your device? You can compress them into one zip file for easier transferring. The extracted files are now accessible and you can open them on your device. To access the extracted files, we touch this folder to open it. In our example, there is a new folder with the same name as the zip file. Touch the phone icon to go back to the folder on your phone containing the zip file and the extracted files. The “Compression Manager” window is currently active.

NOTE: For this example, we chose to create a folder with the same name as the zip file into which the files will be extracted (the first option on the “Extract selected files to” dialog box).Ī message displays telling you the extraction process was successful and you are returned to the open zip file in the “Compression Manager.” At the top of the window above the list of files, there are icons for the different windows that are open. Touch folders to navigate to the path where you want to extract the files. If you selected “Choose path”, another field displays, showing a path. Touch “OK” once you’ve made your selections. We discuss the second and third options below. If you want to choose a different path, select the “Choose path” option. The “Current path” option extracts the files to the same folder as the original zip file. The extracted files will be placed in this folder. Select the first option to create a folder named the same as the zip file in the same folder as the zip file. The “Extract selected files to” dialog box displays. To extract the selected files, touch “Extract” at the bottom of the screen. If you want to extract all the files, touch the check box button in the upper-right corner of the app window. Touch the other files you want to extract. Touch and hold on one of the files you want to add to extract from the zip file until it is checked. The “Compression Manager” window opens in “ES File Explorer” and displays the files in the zip file. NOTE: If you want to use this app as the default viewer for zip files, select the “Set as the default app” check box.
