Input
This task only accepts ZIP files, however it is not necessary that the job file be the ZIP, since

Processing
Every file in the ZIP is extracted to the specified location. If a folder structure exists in the ZIP, it
is respected in the output folder.
Output
This task outputs the data file it received with no modification. Metadata and job files are not
touched either.
