53<li><p>The shared storage option allows users to access the shared storages that are shared by admin users.</p></li>
54<li><p>Download <em>backup</em> or <em>export</em> files (custom, tar and plain text format) on a client machine.</p></li>
55<li><p>Download <em>export</em> dump files of tables.</p></li>
56</ul>

73storages set by the pgAdmin server administrator. Using these, pgAdmin users can have common storages to share files.
74pgAdmin server administrator can configure the shared storages using the <a class="reference internal" href="config_py.html#config-py"><span class="std std-ref">config file</span></a>. Storages can be
75marked as restricted to give read-only access to non-admin pgAdmin users.</p>
