Now Google Docs support ZIP and RAR file types

From  Now, if someone sends you a ZIP or RAR file in Gmail, you’ll be able to view its contents from within your browser by clicking on View.


The Google Docs team says that with the addition of ZIP and RAR, the platform now supports over 15 different file types. The mobile versions of Google Docs also support the changes, and all versions allow you to pick and choose the files you want to download from the archive without having to pull down the entire archive to get to them.

If you do want to download an emailed ZIP or RAR archive, but don’t want to store it on your computer, you can download the archive to Google Docs and open it from there anytime you want. The feature is available now to Google Docs users, and will roll out to Google Apps users in the near future.
