The new WinZip makes up for It. Released today, not only lets you pack up your files into a tidy compressed box, it also provides a one-click method for sharing them either by e-mail or onto your Facebook "wall."
The features, called ZipSend and ZipShare, aim to bring WinZip into the 21st century and get it to compete with similar small-scale file-distributing services like YouSendIt. ZipSend lets you e-mail up to 50MB of archived files for free, with a Pro option that bumps the data cap to 2GB. WinZip and its publisher Corel are betting that people will find the convenience of a one-click e-mail plug-in and WinZip's 256-bit AES encryption more appealing than a competitive data cap, since YouSendIt, Dropbox, and competitors generally let you send or share up to 2GB worth of files at once.
