Step 3: Right-click on the file.

Zip Multiple Files

This method is useful for cramming multiple files in one neat package and can make sending large files easier as well as freeing up unused disk space that you can use more productively.

Step 1: Locate File Explorer on the Windows 10 taskbar (the folder icon).

Step 2: Locate the files you want to add to a single ZIP file.

Step 3: Select all files by holding down the mouse button and dragging the pointer across the screen. Your mouse will create a blue selection box. All files within this box are highlighted with a light blue color.

Step 4: Release the mouse button and right-click on the light- highlighted files.

Step 5: Select Send To on the menu.

Step 6: Select Compressed (Zipped) Folder in the next menu.
