Hi everyone I'm Peggy K and I'm going to show you how to download a copy of
your Google+ Page's posts, photos and other Google+ data. With the shutdown of
consumer Google+ scheduled for April 2nd, you're probably going to want to go
through this process sooner rather than later. To save a copy of your Google+
Page's content, you use Google Takeout to download a copy of your data, just like
you do for your Google+ profile. It just takes a couple of extra steps to
download data for a Google+ Page or other content on a Brand Account.
The first thing you need to do is to make sure you are signed into Google as the
Owner of the Google+ Page and its Brand Account. You can do that by viewing
your Brand Account list, clicking the Brand Account's name and then clicking
the "Manage Permissions" button to make sure that you are signed in as the owner.
Next sign into Google Takeout and switch to your Google Plus Page's identity.
You can do that by clicking your profile photo at top right and selecting your
Brand Account from the list. If you don't see your Brand Account listed there
click "All your Brand Accounts" and choose the Brand Account on the list. That will
return you to Google Takeout. You can confirm that you are using
Google Takeout with your Brand Account identity by checking the profile photo
and name at top right. Note that if you long ago added a password to your Google
Plus Page so that you're able to sign in directly you can sign in directly to
Google Takeout to download all of your Brand Account's data. You can use Google
Takeout to download a copy of your data from all your Google products and
services. I'm using a special link for this demo that only displays Google+
and YouTube. You can get that link in the description of the video. The first thing
you need to do is select which products you would like to backup. For Google+
you can archive your Google+ Plus Ones on external websites, your Google+
Circles, your Google+ Communities, and your
Google+ Stream. Google+ Plus Ones on websites gives you a list of external
websites that you +1. Because it was not possible to +1 sites as a Google+ Page
unless you were signed in to the Page's account directly, it's unlikely you will
have any data in this archive. Google+ Circles
allows you to download a list of your Circles with first names, last names,
nicknames, display names and Google+ profile URLs. It does not contain any
additional contact information. You can download a copy of your Google+ Circles
in four different formats. vCards which can usually be imported into
address books or contact software, HTML which you can open in your web browser,
comma separated values which you can open in a spreadsheet or JSON. The
Google+ Communities data allows you to download data for communities where
you're an owner or a moderator. Currently that data includes names and links to
the Google+ profiles of community owners, moderators, members, applicants, banned
members and invitees. Links to posts shared in the community, but not the
posts themselves, and community metadata, which includes the community picture, the
community settings, and the categories. Note that starting in early March 2019
you will also be able to download additional details from public
communities, including the author, body and photos for every community post. You
can choose which communities you download the data for and you can choose
whether the data is in JSON or HTML format. HTML you can read in a browser.
JSON is more likely to be able to be imported to another platform. Your
Google+ stream is the meat of your data. You can choose what part of your stream
you want to download, including your activity log, which includes your
comments that you posted, the plus ones you made on posts and comments, the way
you voted in polls. Your Collections which does not include the Collections'
posts. It's the information about the individual Collections. It includes the
Events that you either created or were invited to. All the photos and videos
that you uploaded through Google+. And your Google+ posts including the
comments, plus ones and other activities. When you've selected the data you want
to download, click "Next" to customize the format of your archive. You can choose
between two file types .zip and .tgz. I recommend using the default .zip file
format because most devices can unzip that content. You can select the maximum
file size. The default is 2 gigabytes and I don't recommend making the file sizes
larger than that unless you're sure that your computer can handle larger files.
Note that if your archive is larger than the maximum file size it will be split
into multiple downloads. Finally you can select a delivery method for your
archive. The default is for Google to create an archive that you can download
to your computer or other device. If you only have a mobile device or you don't
have much storage space on your desktop computer you can choose a cloud storage
service for Google to deliver the content to. For Google+ Pages there
are three options: you can have it added to your Dropbox, you can have it added to
your Microsoft OneDrive, or you can have it added to Box. For regular Google
accounts and Google+ Profiles Google Drive is also an option, but Google
Drive is not supported for Brand Accounts so you can't have your Google+
Page's archives delivered to Google Drive. When you're ready click "Create Archive".
You can watch the progress of the archive being created but be aware that
if you have a lot of data it could take many hours. So you can either create
another archive or just close the window and Google will send you an email when
your archive is ready. The email notification will be sent to whichever
email address normally gets notifications for your Google+ Page. It's
sent to a pages.plusgoogle.com address and that usually gets redirected to the
notification delivery address which is usually the owner's email. The email
itself lists which products are included in the archive and has two buttons: one
to download the archive and the other to manage all of your archives. The "Download
archive" button should work, but if not, or if you want to see all your archives,
click "Manage archives". Just be sure after you click "Manage archives" that you are
switched to your Google+ Page's Brand Account identity. On your "Manage archives"
page you can see which archives are ready to be downloaded, which products
are included in each archive and the size of the archive. As you can see this
is for my test account, and I don't have much Google+ data at all, but your Google+
Page could have tens or hundreds of gigabytes of data if you uploaded a lot
of posts and images. So the big question of course is what do you do with all
this data once you downloaded it. You can view it on your computer, of course, and
you can always upload your photos to a different photo sharing service, and you
can use one of the "many" third-party tools that let you import your Google+
content into a different platform I'll put a link in the description of
the video with more information. If you found this video helpful be sure to
