Overview
Enabling this job behavior allows DryvIQ to compress any file that is not supported on the destination into a .zip format before being transferred. This will be done instead of flagging the item for manual remediation and halting the file transfer. For example, if you attempt to transfer the file "db123.cmd" from a Network File Share to SharePoint, DryvIQ will compress the file to "db123.zip" before transferring it over, avoiding an error message. By default, the Zip unsupported file types toggle is enabled, indicated by its green status. You can disable this behavior as needed.
Additional configuration settings are available to handle unsupported content when creating the job using the REST API.
