I'm having problems exporting a feature layer to a FGDB. I've never had any problems before and my approach hasn't changed at all.
I keep getting the following error message "Error exporting data to filegdb format," along with an empty fgdb file. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Ross
Hello,
I'm sorry to hear you are having some issues exporting to FGDB. Would you mind providing some additional information:
- Is the feature layer you are exporting to FGDB shared with the public?
- Does this feature layer have attachments?
- What is the size of this feature layer?
- Has export to FGDB worked for this feature layer in the past?
Thank you,
Katie
Hi - I am having the same issue. I have a feature service which contains multiple hosted feature layers and tables. Some of the layers are empty because they are intended to be edited by user. I'd like to export entire feature service to FGDB from AGOL. I keep getting error message "Error exporting data to filegdb format". Can you help? Thanks!
Hi Aster,
Try creating a replica using this workflow:

Also, consider contacting technical support to look into what is causing the error.

I am having the same problem exporting a feature layer (hosted) to a File GDB. One service has a about 1000 points with some of them having picture attachments, the other literally has 1 point with one picture. I either get a generic error exporting to file GDB or an error that says not enough disk space. there is about 600 credits in our account now, so that shouldn't be an issue.
I've tried it in both internet explorer and Chrome, same error.
I looked for the "create replica" option on the Rest service page, but that option does not exist.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Hi Dan,
If there isn't a create replica option on the rest service page, sync is probably not enabled on the service: Manage hosted feature layers—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS
Are you exporting the data using an analysis tool or from the item details page?

Hi Kelly,
I was exporting from the item details page. i can export to shapefile and CSV, but not file GDB. Sync is enabled and i am the administrator that created the feature service. When i try to make any changes to to the settings on the item detial page, it also give me an error when it tries to save.
I ended up just adding the feature service to ArcMap, created a local copy for editing, then disconnected the file geodatabase and it worked just fine, so that is another workaround others can try.
thanks
Dan
