The 5 th version supports the extensions of the older 4 th one, but also adds the luxury of the RAR5, which is the newest format of archiving. With each updated version comes the addition of something extra, while the older forms are mostly retained, or pruned at best. With a considerably better customer support than its competitors, the WinRAR software is a fast expanding tool that is regularly updated (notice the fifth version of the software in two decades). WinRAR is one of the oldest archiving softwares, and this is where the experience sets in. The first version was introduced in 1993. It is also supported by the MAC OS X and the once upon a time favorite, MS-DOS. It is most fluid on Windows, although its Android app has been in the market since 1993.
This means that it has the ability to compress the files to increase the space for storage in the PC and facilitate the transfer of files through web. The WinRAR application is an archiver for the files.
