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 Configuration Console. In an environment with only one TIBCO Spotfire Server, this folder is by default located on the TIBCO Spotfire Server machine in the folder <server installation directory>/tomcat/application-data/library/. In an environment with more than one Spotfire Server, one of them is dedicated to hold Library exports. See the TIBCO Spotfire Server - Installation and Configuration Manual for more information about how to set this up.
