KooDrive allows you to preview the file directory of a ZIP, 7z, or RAR package online. During the preview, you can decompress the package.

Procedure

Sign in to the KooDrive service plane. Only a HUAWEI ID can be used to log in to the KooDrive service plane.

To log in as a common user, use the managed HUAWEI ID applied by the administrator for you on the console.
Go to a file list page, for example, the file list page of your individual space.

NOTE:

Online preview and decompression of compressed packages are not supported on the Share with Me page, Recycle Bin page, and the page for viewing a sharing link.
In the upper right corner of the file list, select Compressed package from the All types drop-down list to filter compressed packages.
Click a compressed package. The system automatically generates a page for previewing the package. You can view all files in the package.
- If you set a password to encrypt the file directory when compressing a file, enter the encryption password to preview the file directory in the package.
- Compressed packages with more than 10,000 files or damaged packages cannot be previewed.
- RAR packages larger than 20 GB cannot be previewed.
On the package preview page, click Decompress. By default, all files are decompressed. To decompress some files, select the target files and click Decompress.
- For full decompression, up to 10,000 files can be decompressed. For partial decompression, up to 999 files can be decompressed.
- If an encryption password is set when a file is compressed but the file directory is not encrypted, enter the encryption password when decompressing the file.
- If you click Decompress without selecting any file, all files in the current directory in the compressed package will be decompressed by default.
- A package larger than 20 GB cannot be decompressed.
On the Decompress To page, select the directory where the files are decompressed and click OK. The message "Decompressing..." is displayed in the upper part of the page. After the decompression is successful, a message is displayed to notify you of viewing details.
- If a file/folder with the same name already exists in the target directory, the system automatically adds a timestamp suffix to the name of the decompressed file/folder.
- For full decompression, if the sum of the compressed package level and target directory level is greater than 29, the decompression fails. For partial decompression, if the sum of the level of the file/folder to be decompressed and target directory level is greater than 30, the decompression fails.
- When decompressing files, ensure that there is sufficient space.
Click View Details. The system automatically redirects to the directory where the decompressed files are stored. You can view the decompressed files.
