Often, to write a large archive to several disks or to more conveniently transfer a large file over the Internet, you need to split the archive into volumes. A volume, or part, is a part of a large file and a set of files and folders packed in a ZIP or RAR archive. So how do you split an archive into parts?

WinRAR archiving program
Instructions
Step 1
First you need to extract all the files from the archive into an empty folder. Most likely, if the archive is opened, the WinRAR archiver program is installed on your computer. If not, install it. WinRAR is shareware and allows you to use basic functions even after a 40-day free trial.
Step 2
To extract files, right-click on the archive and select "Extract to" archive name "from the context menu. After that, a folder with the same name as the name of the archive will be automatically created in the directory where the archive is located. A bar for the level of unpacking the archive in percent will appear on the screen.
Step 3
As soon as it reaches 100% and disappears, select the created folder and right-click on it. In the context menu, click on the "Create archive" item. You will see a window with the settings for the parameters of the future archive. In the lower left corner of the window, you will see a drop-down list with the volume size setting. You can choose one of the default volumes (1, 31 MB, 90 MB, 700 MB, 4.3 GB) or set your own volume, after which you must click the “OK” button. An archive with files will be created and split into several identical parts, desks, with the file size you have chosen. All parts of the archive will be located in the same directory as the folder that you packed into the archive.
After completing the creation and splitting of archives, the folder with the files will become a duplicate of the archives and can be deleted.
