Hello,

I downloaded large folders of JPEG photos zipped via WeTransfer for work (size 20 to 29 MB).
When I try to open the folder, I get an error message "Windows cannot open the folder xxx The compressed folder is invalid."
I should mention that when I right-click to extract all, another error message appears "Cannot execute the wizard... the compressed folder is empty." However, the size is still showing as 20 to 29 MB on my computer.
I should note that I usually have no problem downloading and opening zipped files.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Salt,

Try with 7-zip; if that doesn't work, the file is likely corrupted due to an issue during the download or it was uploaded already corrupted.
