Data Migration: If you have problems -- Bug Reports

The #PlexodusWiki Data Migration page has been updated with instructions on what to do if you have problems in creating a data archive.

That's mostly bug-reporting, not troubleshooting.

Do report issues via feedback, and do report them to the Google+ Mass Migration or the Google+ Help communities.

Feedback information is being processed and acted on, and we've seen changes made to the process as a direct result. There are also G+ member-volunteers compiling and feeding reports to Google engineers working on data takeout issues.


Please try to formulate your issues in the form of Expected Behaviour and Actual Behaviour, and include a concise but detailed description of your issue. Make clear the issue is with the Google+ Data Takeout archive.

A suggested feedback template is:

Short title-like description of issue
Longer description of issue

Expected behaviour:
Concise result you expected.

Actual behaviour:
Concise result you actually encountered.

Steps to reproduce:
Step-by-step description of your actions

In general, useful feedback:

Describes what you expected to happen.

Describes what actually happened.

Describes what you did.

Does not try to explain why something occurred. Software moves in mysterious ways, and true causes are often not immediately apparent to the user (or the troubleshooter).

May describe other limitations or events. If you have personal, technical, or infrastructure limitations (visual impairment, slow and unreliable Internet, limited local storage space), which constrain your options, this information may be useful to a troubleshooter in solving your problem if not their system's behaviour.

May describe what your goal was. "I was doing X to try to accomplish Y when Z happened." This can especially useful.
