Launching a ZIP file is rather simple and it is a little like opening a box from Sweetwater in this, once the package arrives, you still must open this up and then unpack the contents. Software makers will often host upgrades and additional downloads as ZIP files since they occupy less space on their servers and since they’re really easy to work together, as we will learn soon. They’re basically boxed up files which take up less space that makes them simpler to email back and forth or upload into cloud storage (iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.).
A ZIP file is a compressed (smaller) version of a bigger folder or file.
