As with the main interface layout, the ribbon bar splits itself into areas designated as Create / Share, Copy to, Backup, Tools, Settings, View and Help. Heading this three pane view is a ribbon tool bar. While the functionality of Files and Zip should be self-evident, Actions contains slider bar controls to turn on / off features for encryption, reduce photos, convert to PDF and adding a watermark to the current document/file being targeted. More experienced users should have no difficulty in getting to grips with the clear layout of the interface which is divided into panes for Files, Zip and Action sections. This overlaid window can be turned off for subsequent loadings. There is also am option to provide WinZip with data regarding your use of the software to help with future development of the product.įiring up the software brings up an overlaid Welcome screen providing basic details regarding the layout of the product’s main interface which could prove useful for those taking their first tentative steps with this arrangement of file management tools. You can select the ap propriate destination using familiar Windows protocols and choose from either a Typical or Custom process. Installing the software is straightforward as you follow the on-screen prompts.
This review is based on my experiences with the Pro version of the product which has been launched with a price point of £42.95.
The latest edition of this software is now up to version 21 with Standard, Pro and Enterprise packages being available. Over the years WinZip has developed from a basic compression / decompression utility, which was my first introduction to the product, into a file management / sharing / encryption application while retaining its original functionality.
