I tried some other apps. Should have just dropped the $4.99 to start with. Great little tool. The zip files are free of the hidden noise that trips up PC users. It would be great if you could build up an archive from several different locations, but it’s not terrible to build up a folder of what you are including in the zip, then drag and drop. The resulting zip is clean and about the same size that the native MacOS compression creates (at least as far as my particular archive is concerned).

Great program. Very easy to use. Only downside is that you have to drag all files into it in one pass. You can't drag some in, then drag more in from another source to add them and then click "go" or whatever. I haven't found this to be a problem with the way I use it, but it could be. YemuZip allows you to choose from 3 different compression/speed levels, which is cool. Would highly recommend!

This simple zipping app solves two common problems when making zip files on a mac to be shared with windows users. First, it removes the confusing __MACOSX folder & files, and second it solves an issue on Windows 7 and earlier where zip files made with Finder would appear as “encrypted” and show a confusing warning message. It’s a huge help, thanks!

The wow of this application is its simplicity and its reliability. I have been using this application for many, many years and it continues to serve as the single best (simple) Zip archiving sotware I have ever found. I just simply start the application and then drag folders onto the application window and my (PC compatabile) Zip file is almost instantly available. Absolutely terrific.
