Do we know when is the last time we can request data via Google Takeout?
ReplyDeleteKeith C. Perry Seems as if that's April 1, though it's not clear if pending requests or post-shutdown requests will be honoured.
ReplyDeleteThat question has been put to Google.
Ahhh, ok Edward Morbius. For some reason, I thought it was sometime in March... I know on 3/7 the notification widget in Chrome is going away but maybe I was thinking about communities. I have at least 2 of those backup.
