Think of the Zip file itself as a container which holds one or more compressed files inside it. Zipping make it easy to keep related files together and makes transporting, emailing, downloading and storing data and software faster and more efficient. Only one download is needed to obtain all related files, and file transfer is quicker because the archived files are compressed.
