Google Docs adds ZIP and RAR support

Google Docs has added support for ZIP and RAR archives since yesterday which allows users of Google Docs to preview the file contents of compressed archives in their browser before downloading. Gmail users too will benefit as they can use Google Docs to view the files in zip and rar archives coming in as email attachments before opening them.

Business users who depend on Google Docs rather than on desktop tools like Microsoft Office and other users who use Google Docs as their primary productivity suite will benefit the most from this.

For the large number of Gmail users, the option to open zip and rar archives being received as email attachments without downloading or opening them would be of great facility as users are often worried that attachments could contain malicious files.
