Good suggestion. Please create an Idea for this and I will vote for it.

@hkingsbury​  forwarded me this question and now he has just made some more work for himself, as he now has to QA the transformer I have put together. It was a good question and not something we had previously created, but once checked we can release it to the Hub and we will provide an update here. Saying that, it may take @hkingsbury​  a bit of time to get to it, as he is busy at the moment...but it is coming.

Here is an early look....so putting the relevant item id, the folder that you want it downloaded to and the webconnection. It will still hold the GDB as a new item under the user, as I have not built it delete it after it is downloaded (because we already have that as a separate transformer).

This looks very promising! Would this work with the other "Export to" formats (Shapefile, CSV, KML, etc.) ? This isn't something needed in my workflow, but I could see it being useful for other users.

Also, will the resulting item id attributes be definable (Title, Tags, Summary,User Content Folder)?

Thanks so much!

Well it could do all those things but I won't aim for that on the first release, as we would need to study all the calls for the other formats and we would need to build some extra logic around inputs e.g. make sure that titles are unique so that we don't overwrite the output file if passing in 50 features, etc. So currently the new item containing the File Geodatabase just gets created as FGDB_<original item no>, but I can't control the name of the file geodatabase as this defaults to a "JobId"

Hi, the custom transformer is up at and can be found here. If there are any issues feel free to comment away, but @hkingsbury​ has put it through quite a few tests.

Will look at other formats and other options in future

I attempted to run the transformer and got the following error message:

{"code":403,"messageCode":"DS_0003","message":"User not allowed for this account","details":u]}

I think the organization url is hardcoded in due to the following log line:

Host: interpret.maps.arcgis.com

Thanks. I'm a little too new with this to change the .fmx directly or know if that is even possible.

Sorry, that slipped through in one caller. Updated now. So download the lastest version and it should, fingers-crossed, work.

It was related to when we get the user that is authenticated, and we didn't have that process defined previously either and I just coped in what it returned for me, rather than converting it. So it was just a case of changing that url.

This is working great now! Thanks.

glad it is working for you
