Importing data
There are numerous ways of importing data depending on if you have the files locally on your computer or if they are available on the internet. Different functions (and packages) are needed to import data based on it's location and file type. The two functions you will probably use most often are base R's read.csv() and {readr}'s read_csv(). I recommend reading the documentation for both of these (?read.csv() and ?readr::read_csv).
And don't forget that here::here() will help facilitate data import when you are using R Projects (which you should!).
Exporting data
Typically, exporting data to files is more straightforward because most of the time, you will be exporting CSV files. Again, the two functions you will probably use most often are base R's write.csv() and {readr}'s write_csv() (?write.csv() and ?readr::write.csv).
