I have a huge .zip which extracted takes up to 100 GB, and storing that amount of data on my MBP's SSD is not an option.
Is there a way to extract a zip file directly to an external hard drive, without filling up the MBP's SSD?
I tried copying the .zip to the external drive I have and extracting it from there, but it gets unzipped in the Downloads folder.
Does anybody know how to achieve this?
Thank you for your time.
.xip
file provided by Apple, Archive Utility will consume spaces in main hard drive by default. To deal with the problem, you can use this command:xar -xf xcode.xip -C /path/to/extract
