Description
When attempting to export user data, one is greeted with this message:
This seems like a problem, as it breaks some security models. Not all of our team's users are using secure email accounts, but we still want to give them the ability to export their data. Ideally, it should be possible to send the download link via a system message in Rocket Chat itself, instead of an email.
