# Exporting and Importing Scenarios and Folders Using FICO Drive

You can export scenarios and scenario folders from Xpress Insight to FICO Drive, and import them from FICO Drive back into Xpress Insight.
Make sure you have the permissions that are required for the operation you want to perform:

Operation | Required permission
--- | ---
Import folder | FOLDER_NEW
Import scenario | SCENARIO_NEW

Exporting a folder or scenario does not require any specific permissions.

## Exporting Scenarios to FICO Drive

To export a scenario or folder to FICO Drive, follow these steps:

1. In the Xpress Insight Scenario Manager, click on the scenario or folder you want to export.
2. Click the Export icon on the toolbar.
3. Select the FICO Drive folder where you want the exported scenario or folder file to be written, and then click Select.
   To rename or delete a FICO Drive folder, add a new subfolder, or upload a local file to a folder, click the down arrow next to an existing folder.
   Note: A folder name can contain alphanumeric characters and the following special characters: `_'!.*()`

   For best results, do not upload more than 1 GB at a time.

The Tasks dialog shows the progress of the export operation. If any problems are encountered during the export, the progress bar turns red. Click the information icon to see more information.

After the export completes, you can optionally download the exported scenario or folder to your local system by clicking the download icon.
