    Hi Stuart,

    Thanks for your comments, I have tried automatic command line zip program like "Compress-Archive -Path "C:\Path\To\Files\*" -DestinationPath "C:\Path\To\Archive.zip"" in a PowerShell script, Since the Data Folder size is more than 2 GB, its running for some time and getting cancelled. Just checking if there is any other automatic PowerShell zip recommendation, till the 7ZIP command be available.

    This is possible today. Planning Analytics on Cloud supports running powershell and batch scripts that can call command line zip programs. The zip functionality in Drive explorer and File manager support large files. Note that support for 7zip is already on the 2025 roadmap as 7zip supports better compressions and can provide improved performance.
