Create a DriveWorks Package (Basic)

To create a DriveWorks package file from an individual group that includes all group data:

1. Locate the files that are to be included in the package, using Windows Explorer.
2. Right click on the folder from which all files are stored.
3. From the menu select Send To > Compressed (zipped) folder.

   

4. Once all content has been compressed change the extension of the zip file to .drivepkg, as the example below:

   Current name:

   FolderName.zip

   New name:

   FolderName.drivepkg

   The file name of the drivepkg file can also be renamed.

   For example:

   FolderName.drivepkg

   Can be renamed:

   MyDriveWorksPackage.drivepkg
