Unzip a Folder within Dropbox?

Is there seriously no way to unzip a folder within Dropbox??  Currently this process has me :scream:

1.Upload Zipfolder to Dropbox

2. When ready to work with items within that folder, Download the Zip Folder to PC.

3. Extract needed file type

4. Re-upload that file type back to DB

Anyone know of any easier process?  or Icloud storage that does this so I can switch?  Thanks

  • Hey there DrASAllen74, thanks for checking in with us!

    You are right, currently, you'll have to download them from your Dropbox account to your computer to unzip files. You can find more info in this link

    You can, however, post any ideas you have here, where other like-minded users can comment and upvote. 

    If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to get back to me. Thanks!
