How to archive and unarchive files¶
The Files menu in the panel supports archive and unarchive operations. Archiving is useful for combining many files or folders into a single .tar.gz file so they are easier to download or move, while unarchive is used to extract archives you upload to the server.
Archive files or folders¶

https://panel.nexuscloud.id/. - Select your server.
- Open the Files menu. If it isn't visible in the sidebar, scroll down the server page until the Files section appears.
- Select the file or folder you want to archive:
- For a single file/folder: click the three-dot icon (
⋮) next to its name. - For multiple files/folders at once: tick the box next to each item you want to select.

- Wait for the loading process to finish.
- In the action bar that appears below, choose Archive.
- Wait for the loading to finish. A new archive file will appear with a name like
archive-2026-06-12T164954+0700.tar.gz. - To download the archive, click the three-dot icon (
⋮) next to the archive file, then choose Download.
Unarchive a file¶
- Open
https://panel.nexuscloud.id/. - Select your server.
- Open the Files menu.
- Scroll down to find the archive file you want to extract, for example
archive-2026-06-12T164954+0700.tar.gz. - Click the three-dot icon (
⋮) next to the file name, then choose Unarchive. - Wait for the loading to finish.
- Open the folder or file list to confirm the archive contents extracted correctly.
Notes¶
- Supported formats for upload and unarchive include
.tar.gzand.zip. - The unarchive process produces files or folders in the same location as the original archive. If you need to move them, use the Move feature after unarchive finishes.
- For large archives, the extract process can take several minutes depending on the size and server load.
