       One thing I will always give Google some credit for: it's astoundingly easy to get your data out of it. He said downloading 200Gb of files and photos from an old Google Drive. In 2Gb chunks.

       @ianbetteridgeAnd no useful way of downloading it using a command line tool unless you can make curl/wget do the Google auth dance.

       @simon @ianbetteridge Drive was explicitly mentioned in the original post. Other services are indeed less accessible.
