Is it possible to export a shapefile as a file geodatabase in QGIS?
I have been trying to do so, but its not giving me the options in the format dropdown box when I 'save as' the shapefile.

The GDAL driver can write as well now gdal.org/drivers/vector/openfilegdb.html. QGIS has been missing the UI for that until now as BERA linked.– user30184Dec 27, 2022 at 15:25

A feature class exported into a file geodatabase is not a "file" but a "table".– VinceDec 27, 2022 at 15:59

ESRI's file Geodatabase is a proprietary format, and the basic installation of QGIS only reads file Geodatabases, it does not write to them. The question Installing File Geodatabase (*.gdb) support in QGIS has an answer (from user @Get Spatial) that goes into detail about how the Open FileGDB driver can be installed to enable write access.
