Ask HN: What to do when Google Takeout fails
I've had a google workspace subscription for years, and stored about 12TB in google drive, mostly backups in a single folder. Recently, google decided to hard lock accounts over the pooled storage limit, unless you pay 300$ per month. I'd like to move away from workspace, but Google Takeout fails continually even for that single folder in drive.
Sort of at a loss what to do now, as I can't use rclone either due to the account having advanced protection enabled.
- theandrewbailey 3y agoCan you manually access the folder in Drive and download it from there?
- buildbot 3y agoFails, as it tried to zip the ~10TB folder.
- theandrewbailey 3y agoYou haven't mentioned it, but have you tried the official drive desktop client[0]? [0] https://www.google.com/drive/download/ https://www.google.com/drive/download/
- buildbot 3y agoI did a long time ago and it also fails out :/
- asdrhyme 3y agoTry rclone to copy/move your files.
