	For non Mac OS users, it is recommended by the ADA that all CSV, Stata, SPSS, SAS and Excel file formats be double-zipped using the 7-Zip open source software. This software is also used by the ADA Staff and is free. This ensures that the files and folders remain unaltered during the Dataverse upload process and prevents Dataverse from adding functionality that the ADA do not utilise at the current time and are currently unable to support. Copies of the software can be obtained via the links at [https://www.7-zip.org/ https://www.7-zip.org/].

	2. In the ~~Add~~ to ~~Archive window, change the name of the archive that you wish to create if the name differs from~~ the ~~file name selected. Remember that file names need to conform~~ to ~~[[File & Folder Naming Conventions\|ADA standard naming conventions]]~~.[[File:~~Double Zipping change name of archive~~.JPG\|400px]]		2.

This file will be located in the same folder or area as the original file.		5. Files and folders do not require encryption therefore you do not need to select a preferred encryption method or enter a password. Simply select “OK” to create the archive file. This file will be located in the same folder or area as the original file. Information is protected during the upload process through HTTPS protocols.

	5. To Double-zip the file (or folder), repeat steps 1 thru 4 above but this time selecting the zipped file or folder ~~to archive~~. If you fail to Double-Zip the files or folders the original formatting may be altered during the ingest process by Dataverse and the unwanted Two Ravens explorer function will be added.		6.

			'''NOTE: It is important to move all of the files that you need to Double-Zip to your desktop prior to completing the actions below. If you do not do this, the entire folder structure that your files are contained within will be replicated by the zip activity. This means that any user trying to access the file at a later date may need to open a number of folders just to access a single file. Moving the files to your desktop prior to Double-Zipping them means that only a single folder (i.e. the desktop) will need to be opened to reach the file.'''
