Questions people ask
- Do I need 7-Zip to open a 7z file?
- No. The 7z is opened in your browser, with nothing uploaded. Its list is shown first, any file can be previewed, and you take out all of them, some or one.
- Can it open a 7z with a password?
- Not yet. A 7z locked with a password cannot be opened yet, including one whose names are hidden: the page names it as locked and says so.
- Are the files checked?
- Yes. Each file is checked as it comes out, against the checksum the 7z keeps for it, and a file that does not match is named.
- Can it make a 7z file?
- No. It opens 7z files but does not make them. To send files, it makes a ZIP, which opens everywhere, or a tar.gz.
- What about a 7z in parts (.7z.001)?
- A 7z in parts is named name.7z.001, name.7z.002 and so on. Choose every part at once; a missing part is named.
