Hi,
I am using ionic + react to build a app for a android. So in AWS s3 I have stored a zip file. I want to download that zip file and unzipped the content and stored that in Directory.Data which is external storage of android.
I am using capacitor v ^ 5. So which capacitor plugins should I use, what should be the procedure.
Let me know If more information is needed. I have just started with ionic, and have some experience in ReactJs.

You can use the Capacitor Filesystem and Capacitor Zip plugins for this purpose:

import { Filesystem, Directory } from '@capacitor/filesystem';
import { Zip } from '@capawesome-team/capacitor-zip';

const downloadFile = async () => {
  await Filesystem.downloadfile({
    path: 'file.zip',
    url: 'https://example.tld/file.zip',
  });
};

const unzip = async () => {
  await Zip.unzip({
    source: '[...]/file.zip',
    destination: '[...]/file',
  });
};

Hi,
I am using downloadFile FileSystem to download the zip file, and the download zip is file is successful. I am looking for alternative to unzip the files in native android directory, since the capwesome plugin is paid. Are there any alternative to unzip files ?
