Extract .zip directly to external hard drive in MacOS

Easily extract .zip file directly to External HDD / USB / External Storage instead of default SSD or HDD.

If you are having two storage in your Mac machine in which the default is having small storage space and other one is with large space then you obviously want to store files, large projects on big volume and your working softwares and compilers on default volume.

Below is the example demonstrated (storage for example purpose only).

1. SSD (120 GB) - 

     2. HDD (External 500 GB) -  Archive.zip    ( <--- it's the zip to be extracted, and we want it to be extracted on this location only where the zip is present)

But when you click it to extract then it extracts to the default SSD storage at the location ~/Downloads/ with extracted folder named as "Archive".  (This is the actual problem we are facing when extracting the .zip file whose actual size is 100GB and we are having small storage of default SSD)

At this point we want to extract the .zip file to the external storage only.

Open the Terminal app from Spotlight search or from Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal and navigate to your folder where the .zip file is stored with "cd ~/locationOf/Acrchive.zip" and press Enter.

And extract the ZIP file with the OSX command line tool 

unzip /ExtrenalHDD/Folder/Archive.zip -d /Volumes/ExtrenalHDD/FolderName

In the above command after typing /Volumes press double Tab and you can see the list of Volumes present such as SSD, HDD, USB etc. The the second path  /Volumes/ExtrenalHDD/FolderName is the location where you want to extract the zip.

Thanks You
