Prof | Zipping a Folder

How do I zip a folder?

If you are uploading multiple assignments at once or uploading a multiple versions assignment, you will be required to upload a zipped (compressed) folder. 

To zip the folder that has all of your starting and solution files in it (or whatever you want to zip in this world unrelated to ExPrep):

  • Locate the folder in your File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac).
  • Right Click on the folder.
    • Windows: Compress to Zip File
    • Mac: Compress "File Name"

Windows file browser showing "compress to Zip file".Mac OS showing finder menu and "Compress" a folder.

  • You will then see a new folder with a zipper on it, indicating that the file has successfully been compressed.
