You can use the Zip file action to zip or unzip a file in the Working folder. You can use this, for example, in combination with the Email file action to send or receive zipped files using email.
If the direction is:

• Source, before the message is run, the file is unzipped to the Working folder. The original ZIP file stays in the Working folder.
• Target, after the message is run, the created file is zipped to the Working folder. The original file is deleted from the Working folder. Next file actions in the file action sequence are done with the ZIP file.

Standard procedure

1.	Click Connectivity studio Integration Design.
2.	Click the Connectors tab.
3.	In the list, find and select the desired connector of type Azure file storage.
4.	Click Edit.
5.	You can export connectivity setup and import it in another D365 FO environment. For example, you first set up and test the connectivity setup in a development environment. When finished, you deploy the setup in your production environment. To prevent messing up your production data, use different file locations for your development or testing environment and for your production environment. To strictly distinguish between different environments, you can define unique file action properties for each of your environment types. So, each file action can have a different set of properties for each applicable environment type. Which file action properties are applicable to the current environment is defined in the Environment type field on the Connectivity studio parameters. Example: If set to Development, the file action properties, as defined for environment type Development are applicable.
	In the Environment types field, select an option.
	Note: For each file action, you can repeat the sub-tasks for each of your environment types. To set the environment-specific properties of a file action, only change the environment type, find the file action, and set the properties. So, do not create a new file action for each environment type.
6.	Expand the File action section.
7.	Sub-task: Set up a Zip file action with direction Source.
7.1	Click New.
7.2	In the Name field, type a value.
7.3	In the File action field, select 'Zip'.
7.4	Click Save.
7.5	Define the name of the file to be unzipped. You can use filtering symbols. Example: CustGroup*.txt.
	In the File name field, type a value.
7.6	You can (temporarily) disable a flow action. Example: In a test setup, the setup to do the file action is not available. To prevent errors during test runs of the message, you disable the file action. In this way, you do not have to change or delete the file action.
	Select Yes in the Skip field.
8.	Sub-task: Set up a Zip file action with direction Target.
8.1	Click New.
8.2	In the Name field, type a value.
8.3	In the File action field, select 'Zip'.
8.4	Click Save.
8.5	In the Direction field, select 'Target'.
8.6	Click Save.
8.7	You can (temporarily) disable a file action. Example: In a test setup, the setup to do the file action is not available. To prevent errors during test runs of the message, you disable the file action. In this way, you do not have to change or delete the file action.
	Select Yes in the Skip field.
9.	Close the page.
