You can export files using the UIActivityViewController:

let activityVC = UIActivityViewController(activityItems: [your-data-here], applicationActivities: nil) 
self.present(activityVC, animated: true, completion: nil)

If you want to limit the export options you can use the excludedActivityTypes property.
