The answer

OpenAI's pages don't say so.

OpenAI's export page does not mention uploaded files, images or projects, only chat history and other account data.

How we grade it

The test: The export includes your files and projects

Check whether the export carries the files you uploaded and your projects or folders.

✓ Yes
The page says uploaded files and projects are included.
½ Partly
Only some of them are included.
✕ No
Not mentioned, or the page says they are left out.

A grade of what OpenAI's own page says, never a test we ran. Scores are never for sale. How the Scorecard works.

The same question, every product

Does the each AI export include your files and projects?
