Question

how do I zip two files to create one zipped file on a Mac.

I want to be able to unzip my file and my programs or txt files appear and not a folder containing the text file

Answer 1

Step 1

Hold down the mouse button or trackpad to draw a box around all the files you want to compress. Alternatively, press the Command button while tapping the trackpad or while pressing the mouse button to select specific files.

Step 2

Right-click or press Control + Tap and select Compress on the pop-up menu.

A new, single archive will appear in the folder. As before, the original files remain intact.

Step 3

To rename the default Archive.zip file name, simply right-click or press Control + Tap on the archive and select Rename. This is useful if you need to create multiple zip files or to make it easier for the recipient to know what’s in the archive.
