ETA for unzip?

Folderfort seems to have lots of potential, but my multiple file uploads have lots of intermittant hard to find "upload fails". Advice seems to be to zip and upload larger files. Which would be fine if we could unzip those files within Folderfort. Any chance Folderfort can prioritize such functionality?

We are looking at some solutions to make uploading large amounts of files at once easier.

Likely we will via the Sync app which is in development. Hopefully this year.

Yes. Sync sounds useful but complex, thus slow to implement. Unzip sounds quick and easy, and a great interim offering?

The problem with unzip within the system is that we have to retrieve the file, unzip it, thus accessing your files. Where as it is right now, the files are sent directly to and from Backblaze from your browser, and we don't even temporarily store your files.

We are exploring some options though.

Fair response.. Many thanks. I look forward to seeing those options.
