Access 2013 export default folder

I've found the default database folder selection under File>Access Options, but where can I designate the default export folder?  When I select Export it points to my Documents folder, when I want to export to a folder on a network drive.

    Access 2003 (what I was using until last week) had a selectable default export folder.

    "Saved Exports" seems to do what I want, more or less.  The Access task I'm working with generates five reports that I want to export to a network drive, in PDF format.

    Are my "Saved Exports" commands stored in a file I can copy and send to my co-workers?

    I don't think there is a documented way to do that.

    So if it was important enough I would use the common File/SaveAs dialog to have the user choose a destination, and then export the data to that location.
