Comments
Known to most people as “unzipping” a .zip file, this is a powerful action to use when trying to compress files.
This and “Make Archive” give Shortcuts lots of power to zip up a set of files before sharing, or give anyone the ability to extract a variety of archive types right on their iPhone or iPad.
Try extracting an archive and saving all the files into a new location (rather than in-place, as Files does by default).
