Zip and unzip on blackberry z10: Here’s a guide on how to simply zip and unzip files on your BB10 device. The idea for this guide came from one of our forum members, Mel25 so thanks to him for the suggestion!

Navigate to the folder where you want to unzip those file like this:
After you tap unzip, your files will unzip in a folder in your chosen location.
When you tap the folder, you will see your items unzipped and ready to use.
