it works better if you Trigger google takeout to put the archive into your google drive account, and download that archive onto a VM for further processing. I do regular copies from google takeout to AWS Glacier Deep Archive (via S3) , it's cost effective and works well. I use rclone for the reading and writing. Just spin up a VM for the duration of the processing. You can use the intermediate step to filter, transform, prune , chunk or edit files as well.
