- Left-click to select the file.
- Right click the file and choose > Send To > Compressed (zipped) folder
- A zip folder will appear. Re-name the Zip File if required
Macintosh
- Locate the file in the Mac Finder (file system)
- Right-click the file, folder, or files you want to zip.
- Select “Compress Items”
- The newly created .zip file will appear in the same directory.
How to Zip Multiple Files Together

Step 2: Right click > send to > compressed (zipped) folder
Step 3: It may take a moment to create, and then your zip folder should appear
NOTE: Via the upload page we can only accept one accounting software type per zipped folder e.g. all MYOB, or all QuickBooks etc.
