Hide/Manage Zip options in Web Client

Since we've iteratively improved the Zip functions in the web client over the past few releases and signifigantly improved the size of files they can manage, clients have noticed the resources the zip function requires on the server and request more tools besides timeout to manage their use.


It was suggested to just remove the Zip options entirely via settings in Admin.

or to disable the compression feature to save on the performance hit and just have the function create an archive.


Perhaps better would be settings to limit the size of files that can be zipped, or the file count


We'd welcome your feedback on this suggestion.


An update, 


As of build 6.2.1.5, an iterim step has been taken whereby the options to Download as Zip and Save to Zip are not shown in the web client when the timeout setting is set to zero in Admin.


Administrators who wish to hide the zip features in MyWorkDrive can use this method to hide those options.

As of 6.3 we now include the ability to manage size - but size or count of files - for zip files.  As of now, no further refinements to zip functionality are planned.
