Export Paw endpoints to Postman

My team and I use Postman when we work on a project with a REST server.

I'm generally the one that builds out the REST server and has all the requests mapped in Postman which I export the collection and commit it in git so the rest of the team stays up-to-date and can do their own tests whilst developing the clients to consume the REST server.

I have been looking at PAW for a while and I have two questions:

  1. Can you create a project and share it with a team which it syncs to everyone on the project OR can you export a project and put it in git which the team can import updates to stay up-to-date?
  2. As I'm not sure if everyone in the team will out lay the money to buy the app, can you export from Paw and import into Postman?

Thanks

Export from Paw:

File -> Export All Requests ->

You get presented a short list of already installed exporters followed by the section Available Online showing more export formats. Choose Postman 2.0. The plugin is installed on-the-fly and a JSON file is exported.

Import to Postman:

Import -> Import File ->

Drag exported JSON file into import window.
