Description of the problem

When exporting Zip from Code sandbox, the extracted folder is not identical to the codesandbox

codesandbox structure :

.
 β”œβ”€β”€ App.js
 β”œβ”€β”€ App.scss
 β”œβ”€β”€ index.js
 β”œβ”€β”€ package.json
 └── public
     └── index.html

exported Zip structure :

.
β”œβ”€β”€ package.json
β”œβ”€β”€ public
β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ favicon.ico
β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ index.html
β”‚   └── manifest.json
β”œβ”€β”€ README.md
└── src
    β”œβ”€β”€ App.js
    β”œβ”€β”€ App.scss
    β”œβ”€β”€ createServiceWorker.js
    β”œβ”€β”€ index.js
    β”œβ”€β”€ package.json
    └── public
        └── index.html

Research direction

Reproduce the problem from File > export to Zip using the linked sandbox, then compare the extracted tree with the listed CodeSandbox structure, including App.js, App.scss, index.js, package.json, and public/index.html. Trace the export entry point from that menu and verify that the resulting archive preserves the sandbox files and layout without the extra wrapper files shown in the report.
