Thank you. I was using a chrome book. I Brought my external hard drive over to a regular laptop and so far I am getting better results and what I can do with the files. Thanks for your time. I don't think Chromebooks are designed for what I was trying to do unfortunately, because it seems like a simple task, to open a zip file and be able to delete files you don't want that have been extracted, and the zip itself

Great video! Tech info for non-tech people. Thank you. I went through your video for the second time for my second backup download and wrote down the steps to make it easier to follow next time. That is one small improvement that you might consider - a step-by-step written instruction to accompany your excellent video. Thank you again! This is great and just what we need.

Don't feel bad; It's not just for non-tech folks. I have been using WINDOWS since WIN 3.1 and couldn't fucking figure this out.

@HazyJ28 3 года назад

Also, he does have a step by step on his website! It's in the format of an article. That's actually how I found this video! Just go to his website mentioned at the beginning of the video and it's all right there. It's about a 2 minute read :)

Thanks for this a ton, homie! I have 40GB worth of data in Drive (NOT INCLUDING GOOGLE PHOTOS lol), but I have been wanting to create a local offline backup on a 2TB external HDD that I just bought. This helped me figure it out. It's truly funny and ironic that I have been using Windows since the 90s (started with 3.1), building custom rigs since I was 8, and yet I couldn't figure this out 🙃

@angelsv 2 года назад

Same over here, my first computer was a Compaq Presario 486 that came with win 95 (although I worked with MS-Dos in school) was there trying to figure out how to do a proper backup of my account, I got my Gmail account 3 months after it came to life, it was by invitation only on those old days, so really have a lot of crap that wanted to put in a 2TB HDD too. Good luck to you, my friend.

Hey man, what if there isn’t a google drive option? What can I do to fix that?

@lucassweet Год назад

Is there a way to do this with drive folders you do not have ownership to (shared folders)?

@AnsonAlexander Год назад

I would follow this tutorial to copy shared folders to your drive first and then come back here and use Google Takeout or one of the other methods: ansonalex.com/tutorials/productivity-software/how-to-copy-shared-folders-in-google-drive/

@piperj4978 Год назад

Hello - I am sure this is a stupid question, but when we got through this process, does it retain the files on Google drive and just make a copy for the download/export? I don't want to remove them, I'm just trying to make a physical copy for safety purposes (I have over 512 GBs in my Google Drive). thank you so much!

@AnsonAlexander Год назад

Yes, you're just downloading them to your computer but you're not deleting them from Drive.

@Blondemoments67 3 года назад

👍 I want to download my files photos etc then delete from the drive as I've no space left in Google accoung. How do I do that after I've downloaded the content? Thanks

@natnotes1 3 года назад

@AnsonAlexander Год назад

Once you finish downloading, you can just select all in Google Drive and delete them.

@thequester8271 7 месяцев назад

Hi. I've been trying to download a Google Drive (on Microsoft Edge browser) folder of 6000 screenshots from my phone (4.71gb) onto my computer. After zipping the folder, it seemed to split the folder into 3 zip folders that started downloading separately but at the same time (I don't know if this is supposed to happen or not). The 2nd folder was downloading faster than the other 2 and I assumed that once it downloaded, then the others would go quicker. The 2nd folder was well over halfway done and the other two folders were just under halfway done when they all suddenly failed with a message "Couldn't download - Network issue". I tried restarting them one by one but they barely last a minute before failing again. Do you know what I should do?

How do I download SHARED drive? Tnx

@tsipporahvalderrama662 10 месяцев назад

So, I did as described in the video, but my issue is they are "read only files" and not only did it automatically down load Gig's of data to my laptop, but also to an external hard drive that I had plugged into it AND I see no option to delete any of the files that are now in my hard drive or my computer!! why can't I delete takeout files that have been downloaded? Hope you know the solution to my issue. Thanks!

@AnsonAlexander 10 месяцев назад

This sound like an operating system issue. It also sounds like Mac, but could be windows. You need to right click on the folder with the file, click "get info" and then give your user account full permissions at the bottom left. You will need to enter your computer password. I don't know the exact steps on Windows but, let me know if you're on Windows and I can take a look.

You can unzip the files and then upload the folder they are in back to Google Drive.

@alecdunbar8472 Месяц назад

Hello Anson! My name is Alec! My google account is going to be removed soon, and I have a ton of collaborative work on the Shared Drives folders that I want to download to my main PC, but Google takeout seems like it only exports things listed in "My Drive". Do you have any solutions for how to download it all?

Sure, you just need a drive big enough to take the files.

@MoZz.. 2 года назад

So what if i have 50TB of storage on my drive?. I dont think zipping all my storage will work..

@AnsonAlexander Год назад

I mean... If you can find a hard drive large enough and want to wait I think it may work... 50TB is gonna take a while no matter what solution you use...

@arshaikh83 24 дня назад

Why don't we just copy paste or cut paste?

@daringcoyotes 10 месяцев назад

Just don't use takeout. It's complete garbage and all your files are going to be completely disorganized and lacking essential metadata. I wasted hours on it and am now using drive for desktop(Mac) to individually download folders to keep them organized and not completely useless.

@AnsonAlexander 9 месяцев назад

It's definitely not for all cases but if it is still your best option if you want to quickly download all of your Google Drive files. If you're looking for a more organized approach, your method sounds pretty good. I would just try to create a tight folder structure beforehand to save time when downloading folders individually.

@daringcoyotes 9 месяцев назад

can't say its quicker. I've got 700 gigs of data in there and downloading each individual 50g zip file, unpacking them and realizing EVERYTHING is split up wasted an awful lot of time. I'm talking like a folder with 20 wavs being split up into 15 folders with at most 2 mp3s in it. And not huge files either, just lossless versions of my album. Takeout is just terrible software and google should try harder.

This doesn't work with folders too large from other people's accounts when you have a free Gmail account having only 15 G.B.s. So, this video doesn't help. Google is dogshit.
