To export a folder and its contents to file you must be a member of the Library Administrator group.
The folder and its contents will be saved as a zip archive. This zip archive will be placed in a specific folder (or in its subfolders) on a specific machine. This folder is called the "Shared Disk Location" and is set from the TIBCO Spotfire Server. This folder is by default located on the TIBCO Spotfire Server in the folder <server installation directory>/tomcat/application-data/library/. See the TIBCO Spotfire Server and Environment – Installation and Administration Manual for more information.
