Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Drop-OSS/droplet/issues/9

Currently, Drop only supports basic ZIP archives, which have significant limitations in both compression efficiency and extraction speed. Adding support for formats such as tar.zst (tar with Zstandard), 7z, or ZIP with zstd compression would save storage and bandwidth, and greatly improve both compression and extraction performance for large datasets.

Yep, we're planning to migrate to 7z on the backend to handle all of this for us. This would actually be implemented in https://github.com/Drop-OSS/droplet, so could you check if this issue already exists there, and if it doesn't, create one?

(I'm on mobile rn so I can't move this issue, sorry)
