Google+ Mass Migration short FAQ

Google+ Mass Migration short FAQ

Q: When is Google+ shutting down?

A: April 2, 2019. Five months earlier than originally announced.

March 7, 2019 for Google+ APIs, including Google+ Sign-in and integrations for web & mobile apps.

https://support.google.com/plus/answer/9195133

https://developers.google.com/+/api-shutdown


Q: Where should I go?

A: There is no one answer. This community can help you chose where to go, but you decide what fits best. Where your personal contacts go matters most.

See "How should I/we choose?": https://social.antefriguserat.de/index.php/FAQ#Q:_How_should_I.2Fwe_choose.3F

Major alternatives are listed here: https://social.antefriguserat.de/index.php/Established_G%2B_Exodus_Communities


Q How do I know where people are going?

A: Some have used this form: https://goo.gl/forms/EnkYfrY9HYKkr7iy2

The results are posted here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GYSUTGpmz-2trxhvNyEv_rnNF1GvEf4OW0Lct7KxEiY

Others are using #SignalFlare posts, and #googleplus and #gplusrefugee hashtags on their new sites.

Also check a user's About page or pinned posts on their streams for forwarding information. Create these yourself for others to find.


Q: Can I save my G+ content?

A: YES! Use the Friends+Me Google+ Exporter for best results: https://gplus-exporter.friendsplus.me

Other tools for archiving exist. Official Google Data Takeout can work but is problematic: https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout/custom/plus_pages,circles,stream,plus_one,profile,plus_communities


Q: I have more data migration questions/issues?

A: See the Data Migration page: https://social.antefriguserat.de/index.php/Data_Migration_Process_and_Considerations


Q: What should I be doing as a G+ Community owner / moderator?

A: Communicate and coordinate with your community:
https://social.antefriguserat.de/index.php/Migrating_Google%2B_Communities


Q: Should I delete my Google+ account or Communities?

A: You could, but we don't suggest it. Doing so will remove all content you and others have made, making it much harder for others to save their work.


Q: Can I simply convert to a G Suite / Corporate Google+ account?

A: Short answer: No.

Long answer: https://social.antefriguserat.de/index.php/FAQ#Q:_Is_there_any_way_to_continue_using_Google.2B_after_the_sunset.3F

Q: Are other Google products shutting down / affected by this?

A: NO, other Google products will not be shut down at this time, only Google+. However some interactions may be experienced. See: https://social.antefriguserat.de/index.php/FAQ#Google_Products_and_Services


Q: What if I have more questions?

A: See the full FAQ: https://social.antefriguserat.de/index.php/FAQ

    My detection from exporter is only 0 posts beside the download button. I don't know why. Does this exporter only export public posts?

    Edward Morbius Thank you. I tried it again and now my posts are detectable. While I export to file, it shows "177 public posts are exported" (177 public + 623 private). How could I get those private posts?

    StarTeller Jean They're listed together. Should be evident on examination.
