I have 20 folders with different contents. I want to compress each of these 20 folders into a 7z archive.
This can be done by right-clicking on each folder and selecting 7-Zip -> Add to "Folder n.7z" in the context menu
. This is a long time if you do it for several folders.
I did not find a mass archiving function in the 7-zip GUI (that is, archiving several objects into their own separate archives). Did I look badly or is there really no such function in the GUI?

To compress selected folders/files into separate archives, you can use file compression tools that are commonly available on various operating systems. Here are instructions for different platforms:
Windows:
Using File Explorer:
Select the folders/files you want to compress.
Right-click on the selected items.
Choose "Send to" and then select "Compressed (zipped) folder."
This will create a separate compressed (ZIP) archive for the selected folders/files.
macOS:
Using Finder:
Select the folders/files you want to compress.
Right-click on the selected items.
Choose "Compress" from the menu.
This will create a separate compressed (ZIP) archive for the selected folders/files.
Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, etc.):
Using Terminal:
Open the Terminal.
Navigate to the directory where your folders/files are located using the cd command.
To compress a folder, use the following command:
zip -r archive_name.zip folder_name
Replace archive_name.zip with the desired name for your archive and folder_name with the name of the folder you want to compress.
To compress individual files:zip archive_name.zip file1 file2 file3
Replace archive_name.zip with the desired name for your archive and list the names of the files you want to compress.
These commands will create separate compressed (ZIP) archives for the selected folders/files.
Note:
For more advanced options or different compression formats (e.g., tar.gz), you may need to use additional commands or third-party tools.
The steps and commands provided here are general and might vary slightly based on your specific operating system or distribution.
Remember to replace placeholders like archive_name, folder_name, file1, etc., with your actual names.

By the way, there is such a function in the Bandizip archiver - you can add it to the context menu of the Explorer in the Bandizip settings
