Managing compressed files in the cloud has always been a bit of a hassle—especially when you're dealing with ZIP or RAR files in OneDrive. In 2025, there's a better way: RiceDrive, a free cloud-based tool, now makes it incredibly easy to extract and unzip compressed files directly from your OneDrive—without downloading anything.
🚀 Why Unzipping Files in the Cloud?
Traditionally, to extract a ZIP or RAR file from OneDrive, you had to:
- ✅ Download the entire archive to your device
- ✅ Use a desktop unzip tool
- ✅ Re-upload the extracted content back to OneDrive
This workflow is time-consuming and inefficient—especially for large files or mobile users. But now, RiceDrive offers a seamless, fully online solution.
✅ What Is RiceDrive?
RiceDrive is a free and secure cloud file management service that supports cloud-to-cloud operations, including transferring, downloading, and most importantly—extracting ZIP/RAR/7Z files directly from cloud storage services like OneDrive.
You don’t need to install any software or extensions. Everything is done online, in a few clicks.
