Startup idea: backup your google everything.

  I back up all my gmail locally with "gmvault". I am not affiliated, other than a satisfied user: http://gmvault.org/ http://gmvault.org/

    You can just use a POP3 client.

      You can’t automate it with cron, but Google Takeout does let you schedule exports every two months (six a year), and you can choose to have the file added to a cloud drive or have a download link emailed. It’s not ideal, but it’s better than it was. For mail, there are some really good command-line backup implementations that’s you can automate with cron. When I worked in a GSuite workplace, I used gmvault to backup my inbox every week (IMAP would work too but I was paranoid and my inbox was crucial to my job). Apparently there is now a better alternative than that but for mail anyway — and likely files in GDrive — there are options.
