View submission: Urgent help needed: Downloading Google Takeout data before expiration
Have you looked into RClone? You wouldn't be reliant on Takeout to figure it's shit out (if it ever does) and can just export all the content. Granted, you may lose some quality and metadata and such, but if the data matters and you have no alternative, it's better than nothing. Note that it will leverage your local network speeds, I couldn't figure out how to get it to do server to server (such as Gdrive to Dropbox) over the cloud, even with the appropriate flags, it still used data

rClone won't work/help with the actual Takeout download links, right? Only the GDrive API?
I really wish I could find the post where this guy talked through the way he set it up and it flew over to I think (if I remember right) Azure storage. He talked about it being cheap to put in there and cheap to keep there but it would be expensive to download - which I'd be fine with. I tried to set up what he did but wasn't successful. But if I could find that/him, that might be the only thing that saves me.
