Uploading Zip files (2023)?

Request Demo

There were requests in old messages here about uploading zip files to wdesk and unzipping them.  Adding to that would be the ability to create any relative subfolders files in the zip in wdesk.  This would be a very useful function.  

Is this doable in a chain or via file import?  Could it be done via serverside python, although that seems like a lot of work.

    Hi Bill, it is not possible to build a directory structure by unzipping a file. However, in some instances, you can use zipped files. For example, you can upload a zipped file to a Wdata Table with the Upload a Single File endpoint. If you did use Chains, the File Utilities Connector has several commands that can assist with zipped files including Unzip and Zip.
