opening files on an external drive
I have a 14 gig file downloaded from a client's google drive and want to know if I put those files into an external drive, will I still be able to open via Thunderbird software?
Should I open the zip drive first then put everthing into the external drive and THEN use Thunderbird via the external drive?
OR
Do I have to open the zip file first in my HD, and only be able to open using TB only from the HD
If there is an option as this is my first time and I don't want to mess up...Is there an option to speak or chat through the process?

Hi Cate. Is this a file of e-mail messages? That you want to import into Thunderbird?
How many folders? What format are they in? Where do you want them to end up?
There is no option for talking or chatting.
Yes, you can access via thunderbird, but you didn't explain the contents of the zip. If you unzip, do you get a folder of eml files? Or do you get an mbox format? Tell us what you have, and we can advise how to set it up.

They are 14 gigs of emails from the clients Google cloud, (those in the Google mail red zone that we downloaded,) I have no idea what is in the zip as I have never done this task. I am using Mozilla TB but wanted to know if I had to open the zip on my HD or was it available for me to open the zip file in an external drive instead?
I would think most of them are image files? emails from 2014 - 2020 (Sorry I am so new to all this)
I am a bit confused. Why not just unzip the file, as that is a separate issue from thunderbird. Assuming you use Windows, just use the default app or a preferred unzip app to do it.
