How to unzip zip-files

[mattth]

Hello,
how to unzip a zipfile? I become desperate by trying it with different tools: Squeeze - doesnt work, simple explorer, same thing, I dont know, you get the apps on the fdroid appstore and then they dont work. HM…
Can anybody give me a tip, how to do it?
Best regards, Matthias

you can do it natively, its a bit cumbersome though and needs a screenshot to explain:

Files can open the listing, but you’ll need to mark all (3-dot-menu upper right), and again using the menu to “extract to…”

Question about unzipping files

you download a zip file? Files can open the listing, but you’ll need to mark all (3-dot-menu upper right), and again using the menu to “extract to…” either choose the music folder or create a new folder prior. Then the mp3 is either catalogued by the default Music App or as fallback, Files will open mp3s.

I think the shortcoming is that Files is not registered as .zip filetype opener? will check this
