[QUOTE="MacsWork, post: 958378, member: 11094"] Typically the word Archive implies "Offline". Creating a zip file from a folder is a great way to send several items to someone rather than multiple attachments. Zipping is a form of file compression. Unfortunately for you, JPG files are already compressed so zipping them only provides the ability to store them as a single file. You would get the same result trying to zip MP3 files since they are already compressed to. Archiving the images may not save you any space but that is also just a benefit to the zipping process. Try zipping another directory that does not contain multimedia files and see what you get for a size difference. [/QUOTE]
