7-Zip (available for Windows, Linux, and MacOS as Keka) can open a directory within a ZIP file without extracting the entire file, if you’re willing to accept a non-cloud solution.
You won’t have to unpack everything to obtain what you need because it will show you the contents and let you extract only the files you want.
If that doesn’t work, you can park your 200GB file for $3/month (or $2TB for $10/month) in Google One, which has a 5TB individual file size limit. You can also extract files from Google Drive cloud files by opening them with the ZipExtractor extension.
I contacted the publisher of ZipExtractor to inquire about a cap on the size of the source file that could be extracted from. If an answer is available, you can view it by clicking on Support at the provided link.
Purchase an external hard disk. Put 7-Zip inside of 7-zip. navigate to settings>options>files That Select an External HDD drive location where you have free space, then restart the application. Open the zip or rar file in 7-zip. Select the desired file, then click COPY and specify the output direction instead of extracting. =D This is actually a trick that causes the extractor to simultaneously copy and extract to the designated location.
For a superior substitute, utilize 7zip. (Winrar is only available for free trial; 7zip is completely free.)
To extract a file using 7zip, first choose the zip folder and then select Extract from the top panel.
Move to the ‘extract to’ text box and remove the zip folder name at the end, or ‘/*’ if you are extracting more than one file.
Deactivate the checkbox situated beneath the ‘extract to’ box.
Choose between full pathnames (all files + folders are extracted) and no pathnames (all files inside the zip folder are extracted, even the ones inside the folders).
Although it is not necessary, it is advised that the overwrite mode be set to "ask before overwrite," just in case. Check the "eliminate duplication of root folder" box.
Now click "OK," and the files—minus the extra folder—will be sent to the folder containing the zip folder.
Now let’s look at how to unzip a big zip file.
Locate the compressed folder by opening File Explorer.
Use the right-click menu to choose EXTRACT ALL, then follow the prompts to unzip the entire folder.
Alternatively, you can use the command ribbon to select EXTRACT ALL.
Double-clicking the compressed folder will open it and allow you to decompress a single file or folder. Next, move the item to a new location by dragging or copying it from the compressed folder.
Windows can only compress to.ZIP files, but it can decompress a variety of compressed file formats.
Let’s discuss how to unzip a big file more quickly.
WinZip and other unzipping programs unzip files far too slowly.
The Microsoft Windows Attachment Manager is the source of the issue.
Any file that was sent from another computer or downloaded from the internet is marked as a security risk.
As each file passes by in the progress window during the unzipping process, you will be able to read the entire file name.
Try the below solution to get your unzipping software to work faster the way it was meant to, instead of watching each file go by slowly!
The pop-up menu can be accessed by right-clicking on the compressed file.
Select "properties," then scroll down to the bottom of the "General" tab. "Security: This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer," will be a new message that appears on your screen.
Click ‘Apply’ after checking the ‘unblock’ box next to the security statement.
Unzip your file now.
