Question

How Do I Download a Copy of My UC Davis Google Apps Data?

Overview

It's important that you can access your data when you want it, where you want it - whether is it to import it into another service or just create your own copy for your archives.

For departmental data, please work with your local IT on how best to preserve and maintain data for University use.

Answer

Google offers no Google-to-Google tools.  Google Takeout will be for getting a copy of your data to store in another location of your choosing. 

For importing individual, non-university data into a new space (pulling the legacy data in rather than pushing it out), it is best to work with support from the third party service you select how best to accomplish that.  

Google Takeout

1. On your computer, visit https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout

2. Choose the products you want to download the data for, then click Next Step.

3. Choose your file type and delivery method, then click Create export.
