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 computer. This folder is called the "Shared Disk Location" and is set from the Spotfire Server. This folder is by default located on the Spotfire Server in the folder <server installation directory>/tomcat/application-data/library/. See the Spotfire Server and Environment – Installation and Administration Manual for more information.
Note: For information about export and import of library content between Spotfire versions, see the Spotfire software section in the System Requirements for the server.
