4Q-2019: I think rt-click "CAST TO DEVICE" should do this automatically. No, I was looking for video compression for SHARING to social media. But ZIP works for other needs. Carry on. :)

So picture files are already compresses huh? My phone has really good photo quality with it's pics and the pics can be 5mb big. I tried compressing them and it barely did anything. I guess I know why now.

In our opinion winrar is the best utility in order to compress the files and folders and it also provides you the ability to protect your zip file with password.

Hi, do you know how to cut down the size of files in windows 10 as well? I mean, I used to have all my folders caption in blue instead of black and it used smaller space to compare with current amount it's using right now. And it was in Windows 7, btw.
