We all deal with file transfers in our daily lives. If you are a mobile user, than you must be using Bluetooth for transferring your files, or in these days WiFi direct is in order. Whereas if you are a daily computer user apart from mobiles, you must be sending files through emails, Network file transfer (If you are on a local network), online public or private sharing through services like , , by Microsoft and many more. A smaller size is easy to share but when it comes to large or multiple file transfer, we need to compress the files and create a single package. Zip compression is the most common technique used by computer users, followed by Rar, Tar, Tar.gz and 7z.
With the flexibility of compressing large and multiple files in a single archive file, These techniques sometimes become a curse for the users. Such files are prone to be effected by virus the most. If even there is any error during file transfer (locally or over WEB), the archive files get corrupted before your eyes blink. Before we talk about how to repair archive files, or a particular Zip, Rar, TAR or 7z file, let us know what exactly these extensions are.
