Export Data from Google Drive using Google Takeout

This article describes how to export files from your Middlebury Google account using Google Takeout for back up or to use with a service outside of Google.

Exporting Data using Google Takeout

1. Navigate to takeout.google.com.

2. Select the data you would like exported using the check boxes on the right-hand side.

   • Make sure to un-check any data you do NOT want. 

3. Scroll to the bottom and click Next Step.

4. Supply the export destination details as shown: 

   • For Transfer to, select Send download link via email.

   • For Frequency, select Export Once.

   • For File Type, select .zip.

   • For File Size, select 50 GB (This avoids the export being split into multiple ZIP files where possible.)

   

5. Click the Create Export button to proceed.

6. After the export is done, a link will be emailed to the address of the account.

   • If you are exporting for an organizational account, the link will be emailed to that account, not your own.
