1. Make sure that you're assigned the Export role. This role is assigned automatically to the eDiscovery Manager role group. If you're a member of the Organization Management role group, add yourself to the eDiscovery Manager role group on the Permissions page in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal. You can also view your permissions on the eDiscovery (Premium) overview page in the compliance portal. For more information about eDiscovery permissions, see Assign eDiscovery permissions in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.
2. If you receive an error message when you try to download the export, verify that you're downloading the export that you created. You might have to contact the administrator who created the export to complete the download.
3. Check security filters and the storage location.
4. Subdivide the search into smaller searches by using a smaller date range or by limiting the number of locations that are searched. Then, run the search again.
Note: In Content Search and eDiscovery (Standard), the maximum exportable data for a single search is 2 TB. If your export exceeds 2 TB, reduce the amount of data to be exported, and then try again.
