Can you describe a good export experience for the average person? Google takeout service is pretty similar (I think, I have not actually in-archived my files to inspect them).

I am genuinely curious because I use my wife as the average person when it comes to technology and she has absoluy no interest in exporting her stuff from Google. I do it because I have grand ideas of a personalized data store with search tha I can just dump stuff into so my grand children's grandchildren can search for stuff and discover their history through our data.

Yep, I agree. This is just the 1.0, export options will improve.
