Hi @jeyamarinos ,

 

AEM doesn't support preview for zip or archive files OOTB. If you need it, this has to be a custom functionality.

I have tried using other DAM systems also, most of those does not support this because of security (I guess).

​@sangrampatil111 Thank you for reaching out. I would recommend connecting with your TAM, CSM, or Account Manager and asking them to track ASSETS-57907. They’ll be able to check on the status and provide you with an update.
