some of our users would like to upload zip files and store them as zip files into a dataset. The default behaviour is that zip files are unzipped. I found two solutions: using other kinds of compressions (such as .tar.gz), or double compression (.zip.zip). None of them are acceptable for them for different reasons. I do not see any other options in the user interface or in the API. We use currently v6.2. Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks for your help,
Péter

If you are using direct storage, then the double zip "trick" is the only way I know.
