A ZIP file serves as a data container tool that allows one or more files to be archived in a compressed format, significantly reducing their size. This mechanism facilitates easier sharing and transfer of large files over networks, minimizing transmission times.
However, the prevalence of file compression increases the risk of data corruption. Corrupted ZIP files may arise from various errors, including CRC errors, virus infections, download failures, power outages, or unexpected system shutdowns, all of which can hinder your access to ZIP files.
