Description

High-capacity file compression and decompression utility designed specifically for handling zip and gzip archives ranging from 10MB to 100MB in size. This function complements the standard archive compressor by accepting payloads that exceed typical size limits, supporting up to 500 files per zip archive with built-in path traversal protection for secure extraction. Users can compress multiple files into a single zip archive by providing an array of filenames with base64-encoded content, or compress individual large files using gzip format. Decompression accepts archives via cloud storage file ID or base64 encoding, automatically extracting all contents and uploading each file to cloud storage with secure signed URLs for retrieval. Unlike the standard version, this large-capacity tool always stores outputs to cloud storage rather than returning inline base64 data, ensuring efficient handling of substantial payloads without memory constraints. The function enforces strict size boundaries, rejecting inputs under 10MB (directing users to the standard tool) and over 100MB (recommending file splitting), while automatic budget-based access controls maintain proper file isolation. The Archive Compressor (Large) is essential for workflows involving sizeable datasets, media collections, or bulk file operations that exceed standard compression limits.
