Unzip All Files In Subfolders Linux

bsdtar -xvf archive.zip -C destdir

Task: Unzip all .zip files under /data/incoming into folders named after each ZIP (e.g., file.zip → file/).

cd /data/incoming
find . -name "*.zip" -type f -exec sh -c '
    base="$0%.zip"
    mkdir -p "$base"
    unzip -q "$0" -d "$base"
' {} \;

If you have enabled globstar in bash, you can avoid find: unzip all files in subfolders linux

shopt -s globstar
for zip in **/*.zip; do
    unzip -o "$zip" -d "$zip%/*"
done

**/*.zip matches .zip files in all subdirectories recursively. $zip%/* extracts the directory part of the path. bsdtar -xvf archive

Appendix: Quick Reference Card

# Extract each ZIP into a sibling folder named ZIPNAME.extracted
find . -name "*.zip" -exec unzip {} -d {}.extracted \;
7z x archive.zip -oDEST
