Compressing the files and creating them into zip files possess numerous advantages. When you mail too many files or photographs, often disputes happen. Either you will miss out some files to send, or some of them will not get delivered. Also, it may confuse the receiver, so it is always better to create zip files of the files or pictures you want to mail to save the space and make your mail appear clean as well.
Also, zip files enable you to encrypt personal data when you are sending a file across the internet, so learning how to create them is extremely important.
