Can someone tell me why 7zip is even a thing? I get like 4mb savings of space on a 10 gig file when zipped... or when I download drivers for my mouse just now for example, it came in 7zip, ok fine, but it was literally only like 1mb in storage saving... why zip anything at all? it saves almost no space...

I'm not likely to ever bother zipping anything on my gaming rig, so here's my daily driver::

7zip is popular because it's free and doesn't ask for a license like winrar used to. It's been around forever and many large corporations use it. 7zip features command-line options with 7z.exe which is great for scripting, file splitting which is good for sharing (especially large files to slow networks), multi-threading, and password encryption.

7z files also have a small header of 377abcaf271c0004, which can be easily removed/inserted for another layer of obfuscation to a file without an extension. I'm looking at you, google drive :roll:
 
Here's another neat thing... the windows version runs fine under wine with linux... here's my ancient old machine having a go:

fair, so it's not actually about saving space after all, its just efficiency. makes sense, I just never understood, thanks for explaining!

Sometimes it is done without compression, just "storing" the files for reasons. Any compression app I know have this option. WinRAR, 7zip and WinZIP (Man, WinZIP is still alive XD).

Well, you asked for it :D
