Conversations can followed via email, so that's one way of 'exporting' them. 
But otherwise, I suspect you'd need to either query the database directly or 
use "./bin/storage dump":

DUMP WORKFLOW

dump [options]
Dump all data in storage to stdout.

      --compress
          With --output, write a compressed file to disk instead of a
          plaintext file.

      --for-replica
          Add --master-data to the mysqldump command, generating a CHANGE
          MASTER statement in the output.

      --no-indexes
          Do not dump data in rebuildable index tables. This means backups
          are smaller and faster, but you will need to manually rebuild
          indexes after performing a restore.

      --output file
          Write output directly to disk. This handles errors better than
          using pipes. Use with --compress to gzip the output.

      --overwrite
          With --output, overwrite the output file if it already exists.

Yes: Phabricator has a general file storage service, and files can be uploaded 
via that and shared in Conpherence.
