TakeOut by Google
TakeOut by Google is a valuable service that will allow you to export your Google products should you plan to retire your existing Google account. The archives you create will remain available for your dissemination at a later time. Exports will be available as zip formatted downloads. Downloads may be very time consuming - so Google will notify you via email after downloads are complete, along with a link within the body of the email to take you back to the export results page.
A quick link to TakeOut may be found here.
