Will have to look into that. Sounds like it could be expensive but maybe worth it.


You can schedule the takeout to Drive, then use a tool such as rclone (amazing tool) to pull it down.

It should not add any costs except the storage for the takeout zip on drive.

Look at supported providers in rclone and you might find easy solutions for some hard sync problems: https://rclone.org/#providers


> except the storage for the takeout zip on drive.

Yeah, that's the cost I'm talking about. It essentially amounts to paying an extra subscription to be able to download your data [on a regular basis].

I'm a big rclone fan btw :) I'm sure there's some future where we do something like this to automate Takeouts.


Downloading from Google drive doesn't cost anything, does it? Although, I guess you would have to have enough empty space on your Google drive to be able to store the takeout zip, which I think is an acceptable cost
