Always zip files: Enclose can compress one or more files into a “zip” archive. Although this happens automatically, depending on what you drag to Enclose, checking this option causes all uploads to be zipped.
- When unchecked: A single, Internet-ready, file (dragged to Enclose) is uploaded as is (not zipped). Internet-ready files are types known to web servers, including most graphics, PDF, html, Word, Excel, and other types. A file such as a Pages or Numbers document, or any file without a file extension, is not Internet-ready. This type of file (or multiple files, or one or more folders) when dragged to Enclose, is put into a zip archive (a single Internet-ready file). Zip files are also compressed, and save space for certain kinds of files. Also, a single QuickTime movie is made Internet-ready (flattened) if need be.
- When checked: Regardless of type, each file or files dragged to Enclose are put in a zip archive for sending. One reason to do this is to ensure that recipients receive the files as a download to their hard drive, as opposed to appearing in their web browsers.
- QuickTime movies with external references that are zipped are not flattened, and may not be playable by recipients.
- When encrypting, files are never zipped, but PGP Encryption compresses files while encrypting, unless prohibited by a recipient’s public key settings.
