I downloaded a zip file on my Chromebook. I see the file when I got to "chrome://files".

How do I unzip it? Clicking on it merely lets me view its contents.

Create a destination folder. Open the archive in Chrome OS Files. Select and copy what you want, and paste it to the destination folder. You may be able to drag and drop as well.

This was the straight forward and only solution that worked for me on OS X (taken from here).

1. To create a split zip archive (a series of files named zip, z01, z02...), run following command in Terminal:

zip -s 100m -x "*.DS_Store" -r split-foo.zip foo/

2. To extract a split zip archive (a series of files named zip, z01, z02...), run following command in Terminal:

First, combine the split archive to a single archive:

zip -s 0 split-foo.zip --out unsplit-foo.zip

Extract the single archive using unzip:

unzip unsplit-foo.zip
