The flaws of Flow: Can't zip downloaded files

Microsoft Flow has been proving more useful in my Office 365 dominated environment. I've been using the FTP connector to download masses of files to my OneDrive. The OneDrive comes with a 1 TB limit, which is plenty but it is worth trying to keep things compact. Unfortunately, while flow can extract from zipped archives, it can't do the opposite. In order to manually create a zipped archive, the computer downloads all the files, zips them and uploads them back to OneDrive. Gotta love Microsoft!
