Free File Archiver software

 

A file archiver is computer software that combines a number of files together into one archive file or into a series of archive files, for easier transportation or storage. Many file archivers use lossless data compression in order to reduce the archive's size. This makes the sharing and archiving of files on a data storage easier.
