+## Implementation Notes
-__Folder Actions__
+  * Exported Zip archives are generated in the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_(file_format)#ZIP64|ZIP64 format]]. The default Mac OS X Unarchiver called "Archive Utility" does not support Zip files created with ZIP64. It only supports the ZIP32 format. Mac users attempting to export to Zip will be warned about this compatibility issue and will be prompted to choose another format for which their platform can extract. Other Mac OS X Zip unarchive programs are able to support the ZIP64 format.
+  * Empty folders will not be included in the archives.
+  * Version files will not be included in the archives.
-When you hover over a folder in the list view, you should see an icon giving you the option to download that folders content.
+  * If a file is not found on the storage, it will not be included in the archive file.

+  * Some web browsers like Chrome and Edge will automatically decompress a .tar.gz file to a .tar file without renaming it appropriately. Some archive extractors may have an issue with this. Renaming the file to .tar may resolve this for you.
+  * The Access Anywhere will only include files that it has metadata indexed. The contents of unindexed folders will not be included in the archive.
+  * At a technical level the Zip is 'in-stream' so it is not required to increase partition sizes on Access Anywhere's Enterprise Appliance to be able to accommodate user estates using the zip functionality.
