Unzip a Folder within Dropbox?

Is there seriously no way to unzip a folder within Dropbox??  Currently this process has me :scream:

1.Upload Zipfolder to Dropbox

2. When ready to work with items within that folder, Download the Zip Folder to PC.

3. Extract needed file type

4. Re-upload that file type back to DB

Anyone know of any easier process?  or Icloud storage that does this so I can switch?  Thanks

    You are right, currently, you'll have to download them from your Dropbox account to your computer to unzip files. You can find more info in this link
