Works for what it is. However, this is so simple it should be part of Chrome OS already (you can make a zip there, why not with a password?!). However, zip is read only. If you want to edit the internal file and reclose the zip, you can't, you have to make another zip. Also, doesn't show up in "open" menu for .zip, just in the apps, which is a pain.

No instructions on how to use this. Completely lost.

Would be five star if it had ability to add multiple files or directories. Sadly, its 1 file in, 1 zip out ... and although you can zip a zip, for saving things locally, if you need to email that to someone Gmail won't let you send zipped-zips
