Hello,
I've made promises and built a whole section of a website based on the assumption I could upload (ZIP, RAR, TAR, TAR.GZ, GZ, GZIP, JAR, 7Z, FGZ and WEBARCHIVE), as per below:
That said, the Upload button only has as file type the following options: Video, Images, Audio and Document.
Can someone please clarify or enlighten me how exactly I can get the ball rolling to setting up Archive type uploads?
Any help is much appreciated

Has any further work been done to provide the ability for users to upload ZIP files? I was lead to believe that by upgrading to the Ascend build tools that a fully capable upload button would be offered. I will not be able to continue using the Wix platform for our company's website if this feature is not available.
Great, look forward to knowing the outcome :)
Hi @Exequiel, can you try https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/wix-media-backend/mediamanager-obj/upload ? This feature allows you to skip the upload button and get things much more customisable.
There's a way to upload Zip files not even through a third-party/plugin and I can even freely do what I want with it. This leads me to believe, it's clear this is not a technical issue, but rather senior deciders hesitant to simply enable it. All I can say is when there's a will there's a way. We can combine certain things to get this to work and I will play around with it to see how far I can scale it up.
Thank you for escalating this and I look forward to hearing from you.
Well, I’ll just have to tell whom I made promises to that my hosting provider was falsely advertising information. I’d strongly urge whom it may concern to review the Wix website for other potential false or misleading claims.
Hi @Exequiel
Archive types are not yet supported. Apologies for the confusion. We will be updating the API reference soon to list only the types that the Upload button supports.
The team is aware of this feature request, and we'll update the Forum as soon as more types are available.
Thanks!
