Do you use Google Drive or Workspace personally or for your business?
It’s super convenient for quick and easy cloud storage, but do you ever worry about what would happen if you lose some of your data? Today I’ll show you how can you periodically backup your Google platform-based files and information to add another layer of protection for your important documents and data.
First, head on over to takeout.google.com where you’ll find some prompts walking you through the export process.
Customize your export by selecting the Google products you want to include in your backup then click Next Step.
Next select your preferred Delivery Method and Frequency – whether you want to do this manually or set a backup schedule.
Hit the Create Export button and your work for now is done! Google will work on compiling the archive and when it’s ready, you’ll receive an email with instructions for downloading your export. From there you’ll either want to store a copy on your local machine, another backup platform or another Cloud-based platform.
