How to archive and unarchive files in the NexusCloud panel¶

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¶

1. Open https://panel.nexuscloud.id/.
2. Select your server.
3. Open the Files menu. If it isn't visible in the sidebar, scroll down until you find the Files section.
4. 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.
5. Wait for the loading process to finish.
6. In the action bar that appears below, choose Archive.
7. Wait for the loading to finish. A new archive file will appear with a name like archive-2026-06-12T164954+0700.tar.gz.
8. To download the archive, click the three-dot icon (⋮) next to the archive file, then choose Download.

Unarchive a file¶

1. Open https://panel.nexuscloud.id/.
2. Select your server.
3. Open the Files menu.
4. Scroll down to find the archive file you want to extract, for example archive-2026-06-12T164954+0700.tar.gz.
5. Click the three-dot icon (⋮) next to the file name, then choose Unarchive.
6. Wait for the loading to finish.
7. Open the folder or file list to confirm the archive contents extracted correctly.

Notes¶

• Supported formats for upload and unarchive include .tar.gz and .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.
