Even though the ZIP format is a more common archive type, some users prefer 7z. The reason behind opting for this archive type over the widely used ZIP format lies in its superior file compression capabilities. In 2011, TopTenReviews revealed that 7z compression is at least 17% more efficient than ZIP, thus saving you space on your Mac.

Unfortunately, by default, Mac lacks the built-in capability to create a 7z archive using its standard functionalities. Still, you can simply extract this archive type and check its contents. However, the challenge of creating a 7z archive on a Mac can become a thing of the past when using decent archive software like Commander One.

– How to open 7z files on Mac with Commander One.
With Commander One, you can open .7z files on Mac in a traditional way, similar to the process of unpacking archives in Finder. Additionally, you can open 7z archives, navigate to the desired file, extract it, and close the archive, much like managing a regular folder.
– Additional features.
Commander One went much further with handling archives. If you’ve noticed a certain file missing in a 7z archive, you can seamlessly add it to that archive without the need to go through the extraction and compression processes again.
The app is compatible with not only 7z but also RAR, ZIP, TGZ, and other formats. Besides that, it integrates smoothly with cloud services such as Google Drive, One Drive, Dropbox, etc., allowing seamless file operations with no need to use separate apps for each service.
Even more, unlike the native cloud storage apps, which require a download and extraction of the archive to view its content, Commander One lets you skip these steps and facilitates work with archives. The app also features a search system that can locate files inside archives, even in cloud storage.
Download and install the app, and the issue of how to extract 7z files on Mac will be solved in a couple of clicks.
