Spiltting .zip by winzip

I ran into a situation where gmail does not allow me to have any attachment larger than 25MB. It recommended me to use (google) drive instead.

Because some of my recipient does not use gmail, I waste a lot of time recalling what are my options.

Winrar only performs the split for .rar, so does .7p for 7zip. I, thus, have to go back to Winzip. I totally forgot that the extension of the remaining zip files are not .zip but .zXX where XX is the sequence of the split.

Now you know what to do when you need to split a file or a folder.

  1. Some experienced that windows (zip) cannot unzip multi-part file, neither 7-zip. (Thus your choice is winzip or winrar)
