Um.

I can upload my files one at a time to my gmail account (got that far).

I discovered that if I right-click, a utility called "Ark" is offered, with the option to zip the files. However, when I try to do so, I'm told via error message that I cannot, as the files are "read only".

If anyone's about on the holiday, could you please let me know if there are any options? This is going to be *tedious*.

Thanks
