File Manipulation - Decompress Files
Overview
Decompress a single archive using ZIP, TAR, TAR.GZIP, or TAR.BZ2 into a single folder containing all compressed files.
Be sure you know what type of compression was used on the file originally! There are many instances where a file might end in .zip but be compressed using .gzip (or other methods).
If the archive contains only a single file, the New File Name field can be used to rename it. Otherwise, if the archive contains multiple files, it is recommended to leave this field blank to retain the original file and folder names.
