Takeout always fails for me, with ~11TB of data in Google Drive.
Google Drive files you can sync to local disk via the Windows or Mac app.
Fails!
Then your data is gone.
Why would you use takeout to download Google Drive contents when syncing to your local computer is its entire purpose?
Because the Google drive desktop app crashes as well :)
That is odd I can't remember it ever crashing on me.
I long ago used arq backup with google drive as a target, and there’s something like 1-10 million little chunk files in that directory so it’s probably that…
I have been trying to do takeout periodically for 6 months. All manner of combinations and different sets of data.
I'm probably at 20 attempts and everyone single one has failed...
Timelinize[0] has been at this for awhile on several platforms.
Most people who use Google services don't know about this or simply do not have bare minimum technical knowledge required to set this up or even know why they would need to do backups
It doesn't require any technical expertise to set up--you click a button--unless you want to import into something else. I agree it should be more advertised, but I don't see how an open source tool would require less technical knowledge or be better known.
