   Hmm.  I don't know about GoogleDrive, but Gmail often bounces password   
   protected archives.  I know that they unpack zip files and scan inside   
   them.  Mangling file names doesn't always work either - they seem to   
   be able to recognize many types of scripts by content.   
      
      
   Maybe RAR does fly under Google's radar, but I'd hesitate to go that   
   route because there have been so many problems with RAR over the   
   years.  I can recall several versions that were so buggy as to be   
   unusable, and I have seen perfectly good archives fail to unpack with   
   RAR itself, but unpack successfully with, e.g., 7zip.   
      
   There also is the issue that so few people have it available.  Unzip   
   at least comes in the box with Windows and Linux, but most people have   
   no idea what to do with a RAR.   
      
   I personally gave up on RAR somewhere around 3.6.  Maybe it's better   
   now, but for better or worse, Zip has all but conquered the world.   
      
   YMMV,
