You can export Google Calendars you own (those that appear under My calendars in the list on the left; you cannot export calendars you don't own, which appear under Other calendars on the left).

Exporting can be helpful, for example, for those whose NetID will be deactivated as once your NetID is deactivated, you will lose access to everything that requires NetID authentication, including Google Calendar.
