One of the most popular tools in Windows environments has finally arrived with its universal app. In this case we refer to Winzip, the classic and popular file compressor for Windows.
The new version of Winzip for Windows 10 will not be a Win32 application but will be a universal application, an application that will work on both Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile. It will also have support for Cortana, that is, we can use Winzip through voice like some Windows applications.
But the most striking of the new version Winzip will not be Cortana or its universal application but its social functions. Winzip will come with ZipShare and the zipx format. This together will allow us to use the famous compressor with our social networks or through email without having to worry about security or privacy. Zipx is a format similar to .zip but with the addition of encryption so that no one without permission can read the files that we have compressed.

Zipshare is an interesting feature that will allow share any compressed file through the main social networks of the moment but also through the most famous cloud hard drives, that is, Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive. However, not everything is new in this ancient tool. Winzip will keep the same formats as always, that is, we can use more formats than zip to compress our files.
Personally, I have been using this tool for many years, since it was a necessary add-on to install with Windows 98 And although it is not really spectacular, it is necessary and continues to be so despite the fact that Microsoft has included a compressor in their systems. And now that it is for Windows 10 Mobile, Winzip may be as used as before What do you think?
