Learn how to zip and unzip files on your Chromebook by reading this guide.

Google could allow you to create zip files directly from its Files by Google app, in addition to pin folders in the Collection tab.

This where file compression and archive apps come into the picture. These allow you to extract ZIP, RAR, 7Z and other compression file formats or even create them.
