Archive handling covers ZIP, 7ZIP, ARJ, LZH, RAR, UC2, TAR, GZ, CAB and ACE, with plugins available for archive handling, FTP and password management. Its built-in FTP client supports encrypted FTPS and HTTP proxies, and cloud storage access is listed. A portable version is available. The mobile versions are free. The Windows shareware demo lasts 30 days; afterward, users must order the full version or delete the program. The Windows version costs 42 Euro plus VAT in Europe and some other countries.
