Description
Preflight Checklist
- I have installed the latest version of Storage Explorer.
- I have checked existing resources, including the troubleshooting guide and the release notes.
- I have searched for similar issues.
Problem
Sometimes I have archive files (.zip) in my blob container, that I'd like to unzip. Also the other way around, sometimes I have some single files that I'd like to zip.
Desired Solution
I'd like Azure Storage Explorer to let me right-click on zip-files and offers "unzip" functionality from the context menu. Other way around: I'd like to be able to select multiple files/folders, rightclick and select form context menu "create new archive".
Alternatives and Workarounds
Download zip-file, extract locally, upload. Or: Download multiple files/folders, create zip from it locally, upload zip file.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Blob Container context-menu actions and the existing upload/download flows; confirm how selected files and folders are represented. Done means a zip blob offers an unzip action and multiple selected files or folders can be packaged into an archive and uploaded correctly.
