Hi @markosc,

Based on the query, I have developed a logic that performs the zipping of the files.

In the above screenshot, I have used Compress/Zip Files activity which is the same activity you would have implemented.

Compressed File Name: Here, you need to provide your Zip location along with that Filename with the .zip extension.

Content to Zip: Here, you need to select whether to zip a file or folder and select that file/folder path.

Then, run the flow and you may see the result in the location which you would have provided in the Compressed File Name option like below.

Thanks,
