How to extract a zipped folder that was split into multiple parts in MAC OS

I downloaded a big folder in Google Drive that was split into 5 parts:

Myfolder-20200911T192019Z-001.zip
Myfolder-20200911T192019Z-002.zip
Myfolder-20200911T192019Z-003.zip
Myfolder-20200911T192019Z-004.zip
Myfolder-20200911T192019Z-005.zip

I'm having some trouble to extract it into the single folder it originally is. Is there a straighforward way to unzip all of them together and recreate the original folder? Maybe some specific command in gzip? I didn't wish to install any program just to perform this task.

Solution

  • The above answer didn't work for me. The files needed to be unzipped sequentially rather than just concatenated together.

    For anyone coming here from a general search about combining zip files but specifically to combine multipart zips from Google Drive, I found this answer to be the one that worked: https://superuser.com/questions/1255221/how-to-unzip-multiple-zip-files-into-a-single-directory-structure-e-g-google-d

    i.e. for the above (creating an output directory to start with if necessary):

        mkdir outputFolder
    unzip "Myfolder-20200911T192019Z-00*" -d outputFolder
