Files import and export using Data Loader
Hi,
There is an standard object called File. If i want to import and export files in the file object using data loader i cannot do it because File object is not there in the list in Data Loader. Please tell me how to export and import files.

The file object represents the records stored in User's chatter and Content Files.
It supports all file types up to 100MB each. You can share files here with Chatter or by creating groups. You also have a private section so no other users in the Salesforce CRM system can see them. The Files tab requires no admin setup and is ready to use when Chatter is enabled. Since this integrates with Chatter and Content, think of this as a central repository where all files from those two can be accessed if you have the proper permissions.
You can store the document in myFiles using API as well. You need to store the content as content document in personal workspace and provide ‘origin’ field in content version object as ‘H’. (origin is a picklist field in content version object and has two values ‘C’ and ‘H’. C denotes the file is in users personal workspace and ‘H’ denotes Chatter files from User’s myFiles.). This will insert the document in myFiles.
You can also share the file later on with any record by posting the file into content of the record by using contentPost.
If you want to import and export data into any of the sobjects please refer to the below links

Please mark it as solved if it helps you.

I know this but when i am exporting data from attachment object with fields Parent ID, File Name and Body. I am getting the file but when i edit the body and give the path of file in the system it is showing error while inserting.
I want to export only files but I can't because file object is not present in data loader. The above point does not solve my issue.

In case you haven't figured out.
This one is tricky, Files is the ContentVersion object
