RAR Files - 3 Ways To Open And Extract Using Windows

In this tutorial, we will present three methods to open a .rar file to extract its content under Windows 10. As .rar files are not natively supported, we look to third party applications for assistance. Our first method works entirely online, with files processed in the cloud before being returned via download. Our second method provides an offline alternative, with processing handled on the local machine by a “portable” app, which, unlike conventional apps, does not require permanent installation on the system. Our third method permanently installs an application which closely integrates with the file system, providing seamless context menu integration for more frequent use.

Thank you Sir! New subscriber alert hahah! You helped heaps thank you. Just have one question… when I installed the 7zip (full app) I am able to view the files on the 7zip app without converting it to my laptop, is that safe? furthermore is 7zip free? And lastly, is there any way the creator of the rar could see if I have viewed the folder or not (it’s teaching videos)? Thank you for your time sir
