I usually use 7z as well… mostly because of the higher compression ratio. I resend in zip if I get complaints, but if it’s a large file that barely fits in size on whatever hosting service I decide to share the file on, I just tell them to install 7zip or any other archiver that can open 7z archives. If they don’t how to do it, hey I also offer remote IT assistance 🤷.
I was not about to RCE the binary if I can get a working solution from googling 😒.
