I have a folder "D:/Tutorials/Exercise files" I want to compress "Exercise files" folder and put it on E:/Tutorials/ folder, that is on drive E: automatically from within the 7-zip program.

Does 7-zip have this ability? To compress and store the final archive to a custom path on a different partition ??

  • my research has shown nothing relevant (since I used the set "different path" in the keyword tail and it pointed to other irelevant posts for my situation)

Yes, 7-zip has this ability to compress and store the final archive to a custom path on a different partition:

  • I think the key word is "Automatically", or by default.

  • @Moab I guess you're right but it's really unclear, I leave it for Google. Apr 24, 2016 at 22:25
  • "put it on E:/Tutorials/ folder, that is on drive E: automatically from within the 7-zip program." its clear to me.

  • @Moab The OP wrote three times the question: automatically appears in only one of them. Apr 24, 2016 at 22:58
  • This is a pissing contest, the question is clear to me.

Not using the GUI, but you can do that using command line parameters.

For example :

"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -r -t7z -mx9  d:\output_file.7z  f:\inputdir\*.*   

Where

  • "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" is the path on your computer of the 7z executable...
  • a means archive
  • -r means recursive inclusion of the files
  • -t7z means output to 7zip format
  • -mx9 set to ultra compression

It's then easy to automate it (save this line in a batch file, and then add a shortcut in startup menu, or add it to the Task Scheduler)
