Google recently announced Google Takeout, with which you can download all your account data stored with Google at once. You can download your data from Picasa albums, Google+, Google Buzz, Google Circles, Google Profile, Google Contacts and Stream. You should download your data from Google Takeout at least once as a precautionary measure.
Sadly, Picasa photo downloads have a limitation of only 100 photos per album. Contacts information will be exported in .vcf format and profile info will be exported in .json format, if the user has created a Google profile.
How To Download Your Data From Google Takeout?
- Point your browser to Google Takeout, and login to your Google account.
- Choose the services from which you want your data to be downloaded, you can also choose to download your data from all services.
- Now it will show you the estimated file size, depending on the amount of data stored.
- Click on the Download tab and hit Download. (Note: It might take some time for your download to get ready.)
The Google Takeout is a service known as Data Liberation, which makes it easier to take your data in and out of Google easily.
Here is a video by the official Data Liberation Blog announcing Google Takeout:
