Java is required. SFDC File Exporter is distributed as a runnable .jar file, so there is no setup wizard to run. You need a Java Runtime Environment installed on your machine first — check by opening Command Prompt and running java -version. If that command is not recognised, install Java from adoptium.net before continuing.

            
            No Security Token required.
            The new version authenticates directly with Salesforce — just your username and password.

Getting Started

Run on Windows — 4 Steps

1

Install Java (if you don't have it)

Open Command Prompt and run java -version. If you see a version number, you're ready. If not, install a Java Runtime from adoptium.net and reopen Command Prompt.

2

Download the JAR

Click the Download button above to get sfdc-file-exporter-1.0.0.jar. There is no installer and nothing to set up — save the file wherever you like.

3

Launch the App

Double-click the .jar file. If Windows opens it in an archive tool instead, open Command Prompt in the folder containing the file and run:

java -jar sfdc-file-exporter-1.0.0.jar

4

Connect & Export

Enter your Salesforce username and password, choose production or sandbox, then select your file type, apply filters, pick an export folder and click Export.

          
          Double-click doesn't launch it? Windows often associates .jar
          files with an archive tool such as WinRAR or 7-Zip, which opens the file instead of running it. Running
          java -jar sfdc-file-exporter-1.0.0.jar from Command Prompt always works. To fix
          the association permanently, right-click the file, choose Open with → Choose another app,
          and select Java(TM) Platform SE binary.

            macOS Gatekeeper notice. On first launch macOS may block the app because it was downloaded outside the App Store. Allow it from System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway — full steps are in the note below the install steps.
          

Getting Started

Install on macOS — 4 Steps

1

Download the Disk Image

Click the Download button above to get the .dmg disk image.

2

Double-Click the .dmg File

Double-click the downloaded .dmg file. An installer window opens showing the SFDC File Exporter app, a shortcut to your /Applications folder, and an uninstall script.

3

Drag & Drop

Drag SFDC File Exporter onto the /Applications folder in the same window. Once the copy finishes, eject the disk image.

4

Connect & Export

Enter your Salesforce username and password, choose your environment, and start exporting. No security token required.

          
          Important — if macOS blocks the app. On first launch macOS may say the app
          “cannot be opened” or is from an unidentified developer. This is standard Gatekeeper
          behaviour for apps downloaded outside the App Store — it does not mean anything is wrong with the
          app. To allow it, open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to
          the Security section, find the message about SFDC File Exporter
          being blocked, and click Open Anyway. Confirm with Open and
          authenticate with your Mac password or Touch ID. You only need to do this once.
