Hi, all,
Currently it seems the exported files (PPT, PDF or excel files) are automatically downloaded to local PCs. Is there a way to make them stored on the website where the Power BI report is embedded in? It would be of course possible for the users to download them there later (depending on the access right of the users that managed by the website).
I have a data confidentiality reason for this need, but cannot find a solution.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi, @Cheetah
After the Power BI service finishes the export process, the notification banner changes to let you know. In Microsoft Edge, you'll be prompted to save or open the PDF.
You can try to manually save the exported file as an alternative to the website (e.g. Onedrive, Sharepoint).
