Compression tasks are very useful when working with large amounts of data. Large files can be compressed considerably (depending on their data contents), which will save disk space and decrease transmission times.
Compression tasks cannot compress or decompress files or folders located from SMB Network Shares or Encrypted Folders. Alternatively, files or folders from these resources can be copied into a Project Workspace to be compressed or decompressed, and then moved to a SMB Network Share or Encrypted folder.
