ZIP Archives Now Compressed by Default

The File to ZIP converter now compresses archives by default. Previously the CompressionLevel parameter defaulted to NoCompression, so files were only stored unless you opted in to compression. The default is now Medium, producing smaller archives with no changes to existing requests.

Highlights

• ZIP archives are compressed out of the box - no need to pass CompressionLevel explicitly.
• Requests that already set CompressionLevel are unaffected.
• NoCompression remains available for cases where store-only archiving is faster, such as bundling already-compressed files.

Parameters

• CompressionLevel (collection, default Medium) - the compression preset: Optimal, Medium, Fastest, or NoCompression.
