This section describes how to prepare your data and then unzip it in Machine Learning Studio (classic). The module then decompresses the dataset and adds the data to your workspace. The dataset must have been uploaded in a compressed format. The module takes as input a dataset in your workspace. Generally, zipping files is a good option when your dataset is so large that you want to use compression for the upload, to minimize upload time and associated costs.

The purpose of this module is to reduce data transfer times when working with very large datasets by saving and uploading your data files in a compressed format. This article describes how to use the Unpack Zipped Datasets module in Machine Learning Studio (classic), to upload data and script files in compressed format, and then unzip them for use in an experiment. Similar drag-and-drop modules are available in Azure Machine Learning designer. Applies to: Machine Learning Studio (classic) only
