How to export your data from Google services

Did you know that Google has a service which allows you to download all your data? The service’s name is Google TakeOut, and with it you can download data from one or all of Google’s services that you may use, including Google +, Buzz, Circles, Contacts, Documents, Knol, Picasa Web Albums, Profile, Stream and Google Voice.

Just head over to Google Takeout and you’ll see a list of all the services that can be linked to it.
You can immediately click on “Create Archive” in order to create an archive from any or all of these services.
To choose particular services, click on “Choose Service” and decide which ones you want to use. Then click on “Create Archive.” If you have a lot of data, it will take several minutes for all of the data to be exported.
Once the process is complete, a link will appear in the Download section, with which you will be able to export your data.
This service is very useful, especially if you want to export a large collection of documents while and data at once. Also, it is useful if you are planning on closing your Google account or getting another one. It is also a great way to back up all of your data in the case that you might experience any problems with your Google account, making this a great way to avoid losing anything that may be important to you.
