Unzipping an Entire Zip File
To unzip files from within WinZip®, you need to open the
Zip file. To unzip the open Zip file, click on the Unzip icon on the toolbar and select a destination or click on Unzip to My Mac or Unzip to Cloud
(and select a destination) from the Actions menu.
The following sheet will display:
Unzip to My Mac

- Unzip Sheet: when the Unzip icon or menu item is selected and the
destination is selected, then the Unzip sheet slides down from the WinZip toolbar. You can
select the options and destination for the unzipped files. Once the options have been set, click
Unzip to unzip the files to the designated location.
- Save As: when a single file is being unzipped, the name
of the file is shown. Edit the name to have it saved with a different name. If multiple files are being
unzipped, the field displays the first few filenames. Renaming is not allowed when unzipping
multiple files.
- Where to Unzip: select the destination for the unzipped files. The
drop down displays the standard Mac locations plus a list of recent destinations from previous
unzip operations. During unzipping, if a file being unzipped has the same name as a file in the
destination location, a prompt will display requesting an action to
take.
- What to Unzip: to unzip the entire Zip file, click on the Entire
Zip file button.
- Show Results: check Show unzipped files in Finder to have
WinZip open a Finder window after unzipping showing the folder in which the files were
unzipped.
Unzip to Cloud

Select a cloud storage service from the list of available services in WinZip.

- Unzip Sheet: when the Unzip icon or menu item is selected and the destination
is selected, then the Unzip sheet slides down from the WinZip toolbar.
You can select the options and destination for the unzipped files. Once the
options have been set, click Unzip to unzip the files to the designated location.
- Where to Unzip: select the destination for the unzipped files by selecting or navigating to a
destination folder. If you are not logged into the selected cloud service, you will be prompted to log
in. During unzipping, if a file being unzipped has the same name as a file in the destination location,
a prompt will display requesting an action to take.
- What to Unzip: to unzip the entire Zip file, click on the Entire
Zip file button.
Unzipping Encrypted Files
When unzipping an encrypted file, the password must be provided for the operation to continue.
The following prompt is displayed:

Replace Existing File Prompt
During unzipping, if a file being unzipped has the same name as a file in the destination
location, the following alert will display requesting an action to take.

- Possible Actions: when a file of the same name already exists in the
destination location as the file being unzipped, the available options are Replace, to
replace the existing file with the one being unzipped, Don't Replace, to skip unzipping
the file and leave the destination file as is, or Stop, to stop the unzipping process.
If it is possible that there will be multiple conflicts, check Apply to All and the
chosen action will be repeated for each conflict encountered during the remainder of the unzip
operation.
- Default Action: the default action is Stop. This ends the
unzip operation and prevents accidental overwrites if the default action is accidentally
chosen.
