What you need to know

File management was just the beginning. WinZip is expanding its reach to cover image management, PDF creation, and backing up data. The functionalities are multitudinous in the new era of WinZip 26 Pro.

In abig press release, WinZip broke down exactly what interested consumers should expect from the new features that expand upon “WinZip’s legendary file compression, file sharing and encryption.” Here are a few of the highlights: Streamlined file sharing processes, Personal Cloud NAS Drive support, and Windows Environmental Strings support. But features are the tip of the iceberg; WinZip has entirely new apps on the way as well for its WinZip Pro customers.

In short, if you like the core WinZip experience but feel it could use a bit more utility, your (un)spoken requests have been answered.
