On 4.3 you can right click on files and click "Add to zip" but you cant right click on a folder and click "Add to zip" and have it produce a zip file of the folder and have the zip file show up on the account files

so i request the ability to zip up a folder by right clicking on the folder and leave the zip file on there

What about selecting files from different folders to zip? And what if the zip process takes a long time? What if several users try to zip files at the same time?

I think this zip feature should be done in the background, have a queue just like the remote upload. There is also issues with files in different servers.

the archive manager can be ran on a remote server, or on the same server as the file servers.. personally ive got the archive manager running on a seperate remote server..

and yeah, if my site got hugely popular and there were hundreds of people zipping up files, then id have to run the archive manager on multiple remote servers, crunching archives all day

Just like media converter.. If many people are uploading videos, then id have to run many converter servers or servers that just sit there and convert

but my request still remains: If on windows shell you can right click on a folder and zip it up and produce a .zip file right there.. then it makes 100% sense to be able to right click on a folder on yetishare account and produce a zip file on the account for that folder
