Well now I'm definitely not buying it.

I never understood the appeal of paid programs. 7-Zip works equally well and is free and open source software. It integrates much nicer into File Explorer as well.

How does it compare to 7-Zip?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

It support zip, rar, 7z. Basically all archive formats. It has way better UI. It is open source. It is free in beer.
