Prerequisites
An archiving tool* that supports multi-part zips, such as:
7-Zip - https://www.7-zip.org - [free]
WinZip http://www.winzip.com - [paid]
WinRAR http://www.rarlab.com - [paid]
All parts downloaded in their entirety and stored in the same folder.
Sufficient disk space to extract the files.
*Windows and Mac OS’s default compression tools do not support the multi-part archive format.
Step 1: Ensure all parts of the zip are saved in the same folder
Some multi-part zips will only be comprised of archives ending in a .zip.### extension:
Others may include one whole zip archive and additional splits with a .z## extension:
Step 2: Select the first split zip in the list and "Extract to *\" using 7-Zip
With 7-Zip installed, right-click on the first file in the list and extract to a new folder:
⚠️ This process may vary slightly if not using 7-Zip.
Step 3: Compress the combined, extracted files into a single zip archive
Before uploading to Logikcull, the combined and extracted files must be re-zipped into a new archive.
Right-click on the newly created folder and click "Add to *.zip" from the 7-Zip menu:
💡 Tips for downloading and extracting large split zip archives 💡
Depending on your network connection, we recommend downloading two parts at a time.
Verify that all parts are downloaded in their entirety and are stored in the same folder prior to extracting. Failure to do so may result in errors.
Avoid renaming folders, files, and changing extensions in multi-part archives.
Confirm that you have sufficient disk space on your local or external hard drive before extraction.
If the device the files are being extracted to is formatted FAT32, we recommend formatting as exFAT to avoid file system size limitations with FAT32.
