Drive Zip Extractor is a Google Apps Script web app. You paste three files into a new Apps Script project in your own account and deploy it for yourself. A step-by-step checklist comes with the download.

Good to know

  • Password-protected archives and split zips (.z01, .zip.001) are not supported yet.
  • RAR files are unpacked in your browser, so keep the tab open while they run.
  • Google's daily quotas apply, which still allows several hundred GB a day.
