File geodatabases enable you to share volumes of data for download. To share a file geodatabase as part of a site's content, ensure that the data you want to share is published as a hosted feature layer and belongs to a group linked to your site, such as the default content group.
Allow data export on file geodatabases
File geodatabase downloads can be automatically generated for hosted feature services that have allowed data exports. Each hosted feature service will need to individually be set to allow data exports.
For more information on enabling hosted feature services for data export, see Managing hosted web layers.
