Why unzip inside your file manager?
Most people download a ZIP or RAR file, then install a second app just to open it. Glenzo File Manager does it where your files already live: the archive, the extracted folder and the files inside all sit in the same place, ready to open, move, share or clean up.
Because extraction happens on your phone, it works without internet and your archives are never sent to a server. The app itself is under 10 MB, so you save space twice: once by skipping a separate extractor, and again by deleting archives you no longer need with the built-in storage cleaner.
After you extract
Extracted documents open in the built-in PDF and Office viewer, photos and videos open in the gallery and player, and anything private can go straight into the encrypted vault.
