Import/Export1 item

When exporting on mac, the export file wont appear in the saved location (docs, desktop)

Its most likely due to improper mac user permissions to the folders they are saving to, an AV or iCloud or Dropbox syncing to these folders. I would first try saving the export in the applications folder, usually this is not synced with icloud or anything.
