This a long standing feature request

This is not a duplicate of Issue 221124, since .rar file support existed in previous builds.

@weifangsun: Can you please look into this issue? I believe .tar, .gz and other related file support is still not available. Please confirm

mkarkada@ - I checked with the team on this and I don't believe we have native support for .rar. It's only possible to unzip with a 3rd party app at this time.

On M-61 build, .rar file used to get mounted in the Files window, without being any 3rd party apps installed. Please refer the attached picture.
