Description

Compressing large data sets into one or multiple archive files (.7zip) before transferring them can make the process easier, faster and more reliable.  The specific benefits are: 

• Takes thousands of files and compresses them into only one or several archive files, allowing them to be handled more easily by file transfer tools.
• Reduces transfers times by compressing the total amount of data that needs to be sent.
• Reduces the impact of a transfer being canceled by a network interruption, by splitting large amounts of data into multiple archive files.
  • If this occurs, only the file the was interrupted needs to be re-transferred.
  • Web browsers commonly do not have a way to resume an interrupted file transfer. 
• Reduces transfer times by allowing services like OneDrive, that throttle individual file uploads, to upload multiple files at once, increasing your cumulative transfer speed.  This is done by splitting large amounts of data into multiple archive files.
