Alteryx App to Read Zip Folder

I have a zip folder I want to read data from and it works fine in the workflow, but when I convert it to an Alteryx application, I got the error: Unable to open archive. Should I use a different interface tool or update configuration for File Browse tool if I want to read data from zip folder in Alteryx app?

Hi @lulu47408,

You will need to upzip the file. Try right click the zip file and extract then connect to the unzipped file

Thank you for the reply! I will need to use this app in Alteryx Server. If I unzip the folder, I think I will not be able to upload multiple files at a time.

@lulu47408  Ah you should be able to use a zip file, what is the configuration on your action tool
