Google Takeout is a project by the Google Data Liberation Front that allows users of Google products, such as YouTube and Gmail, to export their data to a downloadable ZIP file.
Users can select different services from the list of options provided. As of 6 December 2013, the services that can be exported are as follows:
- Blogger posts
- Gmail data
- Google+ +1s, Circles, Pages, and posts
- Google Buzz posts
- Google Calendar appointments
- Google Contacts
- Google Drive files
- Google Latitude
- Google Profile
- Google Voice settings
- Picasa albums
- YouTube videos
The user can elect to export all of the available services or choose services from the above list. Takeout will then process the request and put all the files into a zip file. Takeout then optionally sends an email notification that the export is completed, at which point the user can download the archive from the downloads section of the website. The zip file contains a separate folder for each service that was selected for export. For Google+ Page data, it will only allow you to export data from pages that you have created, not pages that you manage.
