Using Drag and Drop
Zipping and unzipping files in WinZip® is as easy as
dragging and dropping files.
Zipping Using Drag and Drop
Zipping files using Drag and Drop can be accomplished in one
of three ways
- Using the Dock Icon: From Finder or the desktop, select the files to be zipped, drag
and drop them on the WinZip icon on the Dock. See Using the
Dock Icon for more details.
- Using the Files pane: From Files pane, navigate and select the files to be zipped, drag
and drop them on the Zip pane.
- Using an Open Zip file: from an open Zip file navigate
to the location where the zipped files are to be added. From Finder or the desktop, select the
files to be zipped, drag and drop them inside the WinZip window. The files will be zipped
using the format that corresponds to the type of Zip file on which the files were dropped. Files can
be encrypted and/or image files can be re-sized by selecting the desired options in the Actions pane before dragging and dropping.
