Google has a provision that allows you to review Google product settings and gives you the option to download all the data related to a Google account as one single file. Here are the steps.
Considering
that most of us use at least one Google service in our daily routine,
we end up creating some data that get saved on Google’s servers.
This data could be related to your Android device configuration,
search history, videos watched on YouTube, bookmarks, calendar
entries, files and folders saved on GDrive, etc. Thankfully, Google
has a provision that allows you to review your settings for Google
products and also gives you the option to download all the data
related to a Google
account as one single file.
Here
are the steps to do so:
Step
1: Connect your notebook or desktop to internet
Step
2: Go to any modern browser, preferably Google
Chrome
Step
3: Go to https://myaccount.google.com/ and sign in using your
Google account
Step
4: Look for ‘Data & Personalisation’ in left side menu
and click on it
Step
5: Inside the ‘Data & Personalisation’ settings, scroll
down and look for ‘Download, delete, or make a plan for your data’
option
Step
6: Of the three available options under ‘Download, delete, or
make a plan for your data’, click on ‘download your data’
Step
7: Choose the Google products to include in your archive and
configure the settings for each product. These settings may include
options to save text file as photos or pdfs, etc.
Step
8: Once the relevant products are selected, click on the next
button available on the bottom right side to move to create archive
Step
9: Review your selection and click submit button
Before
submitting the archive request, you can also set archive partition
size from 2GB to up to 50GB. Archive of file size above 25GB is
created in zip64 format, which is not supported by old-generation
computers. However, there are third-party software that manage to
extract data, even in old-generation computers.
