Zip files

**losl** · 08-19-2012, 07:56 PM

Someone sent me a zip file of images. I cannot view/save it both from Gmail or my email client in N7, saying this kind of file is dangerous. But viewing and saving a rar file has no problem.
How could i view/save zip files? thanks !

Thank you !!

I tried this app it only handles the zip files in my N7. The problem is when i received an attachment in gmail i CANNOT open nor download/save to my internal memory and
then open it by this app. Gmail provides "view/save" options for a rar attachments. But
for zip attachments there is only an option: "info". by touching this i get a popup saying
"Unfortunately, you can't save or open this type of attachment". So any further suggestion?

FYI

After reading some articles (eg ) for this problem i found out that is the limitation of the stock email and gmail clients. i also tried different save attachments app from play.google (eg Gmail Attachment Download;Save my attachments and Download All Files) They all did NOT work !!
Because they have to push the preview button which email/gmail dose not provided. The only
to preview/save a zip attachment of jpg files is to go to the browser-based web interface gmail.
Someone mentioned K-9 mail will do the trick, i have test it yet.

Have a nice day !!
