I'm familiar with some basics of computer files, but I'm not a tech expert. I wanted to know if I save a compressed .zip folder onto a USB drive, will all the files inside it be saved as well? The only thing I'm unsure about is that when I try to open the file, it prompts me to extract it first. Appreciate any help! 😊

You got it! A .zip file acts like a file archive. While newer Windows versions let you view its contents like a folder, you still need to extract the files to move them out. And unless it's password-protected, this process is usually straightforward.
Exactly! Think of a .zip file as a container that holds other files. It’s super handy for sharing multiple files at once, but you’ll need to extract them to access the individual files.
Yes, the contents will be saved when you copy the .zip file to a USB drive. Just remember that the files inside will need to be extracted before you can use them properly.
The zipped folder contains everything compressed together. Some tools even allow you to password-protect these folders when sharing. Just make sure to send the password through a different method than the sharing of the folder itself!
