When w11 announced that they were adding native support for rar, 7z, etc, it occurred to me that android also doesn’t support these and I found it really weird

    Google wants you to handle all your storage needs through Drive and Google Photos, where they are in control, can scrape more data, and push you onto paid storage plans.

    I can’t really see the benefit to Google in having an excellent local file manager with wide archive-file support. It doesn’t profit them in any way.

    Thankfully the workaround isn’t too bad, just installing an alternative file manager.
