Inside archives and emails

Open a file inside a ZIP, or inside an email attached to a message, without downloading anything. Come back to the archive or the email with one click.

What it does

Look inside

  • Look inside a ZIP

    The preview lists the files in an archive, and any of them opens without being downloaded.

  • Read an attached email

    An attached .eml opens like a message, with From, To, Cc, date, subject and body.

  • Its attachments too

    A file attached to that email, or an email inside a ZIP, opens from the same preview.

  • Back in one click

    A link at the top takes you back to the archive or the email you came from.

How it works

Open, open again, go back

  1. 1

    Open the archive or email

    Click the ZIP or .eml attachment, as you would any file.

  2. 2

    Choose a file inside

    Pick a file from the list, or one of the email’s attachments. It opens in the same window.

  3. 3

    Go back

    Choose the link back to the archive or the email, or close the window to return to the conversation.
