7 Zip – compressing and extracting files + background infos on compression, when it makes sens, ...

What is this video about?
It often happens that you receive compressed files in the form of a zip file or need to compress files yourself.

You can do this with the free program 7-Zip, which you can download here: https://7-zip.org/

In our video, we discuss the background of file compression, when it makes sense for certain file types and when it doesn’t. Additionally, we explain how you can use compression to send files that are often filtered out by some antivirus programs when attached to emails.

Who are we?
I'm Tom, currently 48 years old, a Civil Engineer specializing in bridge construction. In my job, I deal a lot with IT, but I've also been privately involved in Windows and software applications since around 1990. I've included my son John, currently 12 years old, in this journey. He as-sists me in creating German videos and learns a lot in the process.

What's our mission?
Our time is scarce and precious. Many things repeat themselves on the PC, and over time, we've compiled various tips & tricks that save us a lot of work and time. We want to share them with you and hope to learn more through your feedback and questions.
