How do I export my data out of Google?
Google Takeout
Google Takeout is a product made by a group of engineers at Google who call themselves the data liberation front. What is nice about Takeout is that it exports more than just Drive data; it will give you a single zip file containing all (supported) Google data. The downside of Takeout, specific to Drive, is that your export won’t include files under “Shared With Me”. Many users only want a couple of items from shared anyhow; they can always just make copies of those specific items and place them in their Drive before they export.
