Black Blade has announced the official release of SharePoint Zip 2.0. SharePoint Zip allows users to download multiple files from and upload multiple files to SharePoint as a single Zip file. This saves both user time and network bandwidth, and has many applications from content publishing, to data backup, to offline file access. The new (supported) version of SharePoint Zip adds advanced capabilities and resolves several issues from the pre-release (free) version.

New Capabilities:

  • SharePoint Zip 2.0 now supports forms-based authentication. This makes SharePoint Zip a great tool for intranet, extranet, and now Internet SharePoint sites!
  • SharePoint Zip 2.0 now supports downloading and uploading of very large (multi-gigabyte) Zip files. This is a must-have for SharePoint sites that store large documents, like digital images and video files.
  • SharePoint Zip 2.0 supports load-balanced SharePoint farms. The workload of processing Zip file contents now scales across all web front-end servers in the SharePoint farm.
