I would like to automatically export (say every hour) a view in my Oracle Application Express as a CSV file to be stored on the Apex Server. How do I go about doing that?

I don’t see this as an APEX-specific question. The real question is: how to automatically export data as a CSV file in Oracle. This can be done using the UTL_FILE package to create the file, and either DBMS_SCHEDULER or DBMS_JOB package* to run your UTL_FILE procedure every hour.
(* DBMS_SCHEDULER is the officially preferred method, but DBMS_JOB is a lot simpler to use.)
