Checking the progress of file export / Downloading exported files
You can export records or aggregated data from an app to a file.
When you export data to a file, you are navigated to the Exported files screen, where you can check the export status and download the exported file.
The Exported files screen displays only the file exports that you have performed yourself.
Exported files are available for download for three days from the time when their export was initiated.
How to access the "Exported files" screen
When you export records or aggregated data to a file, you are automatically navigated to the Exported files screen.
To open the Exported files screen manually (e.g., if you want to download an exported file again), click the Settings icon (the gear-shaped icon) at the top of Kintone, then click Exported files.

Checking file export statuses on the "Exported files" screen
Exported files are listed in descending order based on the date and time specified in the Export started column.
When you are navigated to the Exported files screen after exporting a file, the row of the file you just exported is highlighted. The screen refreshes automatically.

An export's status row will no longer appear after three days have passed from the date and time when the export was initiated.
Files will also no longer appear on the screen if their source app has been deleted or if you no longer have the "Export to file" permission for their app, as such files can no longer be downloaded.
