I need weekly to upload bunch of pdf file to grading platform, in the form of zip, but the website has limit of 250Mb per zip file, and it takes me too much time to split the zip I have into smaller zip files. What is the simplest way to split a zip into chunks with max size? A way that would work on other unix-like platform (like my mac at. However, if you use WinRAR (.RAR files have a higher compression than.ZIP files) you simply elect to 'Archive' the source files and WinRAR opens a dialog box, asking you to specify the format for. Instead of using ls and grep and zip's -@, you can use shell globs to select files directly on the zip command line e.g. Zip files.zip file. or zip images.zip.jpg. Also, when using a list of filenames from a file, you can use redirection instead of invoking a separate cat process, zip files.zip -@ zip.lst – steeldriver May 25 '16 at 0:28. Here's how: Open the folder with files or folders you want to zip up. Select the items you want to include in the zip file and right-click on any one of the items. Select 'Compress (x) Items' from the pop-up menu. Once again, a progress bar will display.
Most of 7zip’s features can be accessed by selecting a file and using the right click menu which makes the program very easyto use. However in this case, you want to open 7-Zip and select the file you want to split.
>Split File.
Octo expansion code. A – Select “File” from the menu
B – Select “Split File”
Once you click “Split File…” 7-Zip will bring up a window asking you the directory you want to split the file to and what size you want each part (7z/RAR) to be.
A – Select the desired size for each part of the archive.
B – Click “OK”
How To Zip Several Files
After you selected the file size in the drop down menu, 7Zip will split the files into parts of the selected size. A Status window will appear showing you the process.
When complete, the files will be in the designated folders that you specified during the beginning of the process.

Have you ever needed to zip a number of files into separate zip archives? Perhaps you’ve got a number of files in one directory, and they need to be e-mailed to a number of different people. If you use OS X’s built-in Compress contextual menu item (or Create Archive in OS X 10.4), the end result will be one archive containing all the files—which is clearly not what you want.
You could compress each file one at a time, of course, but that’s tedious. Instead, put Automator to use with a simple one-command workflow. Open Automator, in Applications, and create a new custom (blank) worfklow. Select the Utilities entry in the left-most column, the drag the Run Shell Script action into the blank work area on the right.
Set the Pass Input pop-up to “as arguments,” and then replace the existing cat code with this text:
That’s it; that’s the entire workflow. (Please note that this workflow will not work if you select a folder; it’s designed to zip files only.)
In a nutshell, the way this works is that it loops through each file that’s passed to it (that’s the first line), creating a variable (f) that holds the currently-active filename. It then runs the Unix zip command, with the -j option, creating a new zip file that’s simply the current filename with “.zip” appended at the end—the original file is not modified, so this script is perfectly safe to use. The -j option tells zip not to store path information in the zip file; if you leave that option out, when you expand the archive, the system will create a folder structure that exactly matches the full path to the original file.
Now that you’ve written your workflow, it’s time to make it easy to use. Select File -> Save As Plug-In. In the dialog that appears, give your workflow a name (Zip Separately), make sure the Plug-in For pop-up is set to Finder, then click Save. To use your plug-in, switch to the Finder and select a number of files (Command-click to select non-contiguous files). Then Control-click on one of the selected files, and choose More -> Automator -> Zip Separately (or whatever you named your workflow) from the pop-up menu.
When the workflow finishes running, you’ll find a zipped copy of each file you had selected, located in the same directory as the original file. This simple workflow makes short work of the task of creating separate zip archive from multiple individual files.
