Opening Zip Files in 360

Hi, let me preface with my operating system: I'm using Mac OSX, and did find a resource in the Fusion community for Windows users on how to successfully upload zip files, but the process would be different for a Mac user.  I have uploaded an assembly zip file, and in the upload window where I dragged the file, there was a dropdown menu that  listed the attached .stl files.  However, after uploading it, though I can see the file in my data panel in Fusion, I cannot open it.  As well, in myhub360, the file is there but doesn't load when I try to open it.  How can I resolve this?

Also, the file I'm attempting to open is too large to attach here, but this is one of the files I also wish to open.

You can make a Public Link to any size file.

Is this geometry your own work - or is it the work of someone else?

Are you aware that all stl files are rubbish for anything other than 3D printing (no curves, not one - all triangular planar faces).

Extract a Windows Zip file on Mac >>Link<<.

@TrippyLighting  can you double check this link for me to verify the information relative to zip files and Mac OS?

It's someone else's work and yes this is for a 3D printing project. 

As well, the issue is opening the zipped file uploaded to Fusion.  Not opening a zipped file on Mac OSX.  I have Fusion installed on my Mac, and I've noticed that there are subtle differences in how operations are completed between systems: there seems to be a direct command path to upload a zipped file into Fusion from the Windows OS, while in Mac, files are uploaded from the Fusion API to the cloud and then opened virtually.  My issue is that the file was indeed uploaded, but IN Fusion, when I attempt to open the file via the command "File>Open>" there is no option to do so.  It only directs to a link in the 360 hub.  So the zip file and its contents are in the cloud but can't be opened- at least on my system.

 Your printer should have come with slicing software?
