Export all collections in postman

I have postman with multiple collections.

I can export one by one, but I don't find any option to export all as is, also when moving to team mode.

Is there option to export all my collections to another user?

You can export all APIs, Collections, Environments, Globals, and Header Presets to a single data dump zip file.

To open the Data tab in the app (v8):

Settings > Data Tab > Export Data

Postman

Selecting Export Data will take you to the area where you can download all data from your account.

You will receive an email when the data is available to download, depending on the size of the data set, refreshing the page will cycle through the download status and eventually show the Download button.

Export Page

Importing the data zip file back into a Workspace can be done by selecting the Import button and selecting the file.

You will see a preview of the files that you're about to import, before importing them into the Workspace.

Import

[Edit]

In the latest version, the options under ⚙️ > Settings > Data will look slightly different but the flow remains the same. The Importing of the data dump file can also be done from this location.

Latest Version

[Edit Jan 2025]

This action has been moved to the User Account Level settings. Full instructions can be found in the Learning Center:

For Windows users, open the Postman installation folder, in my case it is:

C: -> users -> [username] -> AppData -> Roaming -> Postman

Then pick up the latest json backup file. It will be named backup.json

Now you can import this file on Postman. And you are good to go.

If anyone else is looking for the export button in the Data tab but does not find it, this is because Postman devs decided to remove this feature since v10.10.3, at least for those working locally in scratchpad. The feature is still there if you are using their cloud-based workspace.

In Postman, open the wrench icon, then settings, then data, then Download. See images below:
