On Windows 11, you can use the New Technology File System (NTFS) lightweight file compression feature to shrink the size of files to save space without manual compression and decompression, which is something often required when using other containers.
The only caveat is that the NTFS file compression requires additional resources to process decompression and recompression every time you access content on the drive, which could impact performance on low-end devices. However, you can still find many scenarios in which to use this feature. For instance, it could be another option to reduce space usage if running low on disk space. You could use the feature to archive files you don't use often. You can also enable lightweight file compression from NTFS in a folder or drive you to store files that won't significantly degrade performance, such as documents and pictures.
