Help!! I created a new site on local and want to export the site so that I can ftp it to our webhost.
Local says that the site is successfully exported but when I try to unzip the folder, I get a pop-up that states:
windows cannot open the folder. The compressed (sipped) folder “folder name” is invalid.
How can I get my sites files? Thank you!
Hi @lorithomson1 - welcome to the Local community! 
Thank you for your question - are you able to share a screenshot of the error message and where you are seeing it?
Thank you!

Hi @lorithomson1 -
Hmm, interesting. I know that there has been issues with special characters in Windows usernames (I see the name is Lori_ so I wonder if that is causing a problem with Local.
If that is the case, I’m not sure what a good solution would be other than to update the username (to something like Lori1 and try exporting again.
Are you able to spin up a new Local site and export that, without making any adjustments and see if that one can be opened?
