Plans to expand export option?

Feature Request
1

I wanted to ask if there are any plans to expand export option to include not just the JSON file, but also the original attached files (png, jpg, pdf etc….). The main reason I use the export feature is for backup purposes in case of a server failure, and since the JSON doesn’t include the original files, the backup feels incomplete.

As a suggestion, would it be possible to export everything as a single ZIP that includes both the JSON and all attached files, linked together using simple IDs? With a basic ID mapping, everything could stay organized and be easily restored later.

That way, if anything goes wrong, we could just re-upload the full export and have everything properly reconstructed.

It would make the export feature much more useful as a true backup.

for scope reasons, would you be okay if the original files were included in the zip but the card image paths were unchanged?

The other benefit to this would be that if you were to use the json in the zip to import the space again , the images would just work because they’re still pointing to the server urls.

Yes, it’s better.
It would also help if the ZIP file names reflected their URL paths, making it easier to identify any corrupted files.
