Steps

  1. 01

    Open takeout.google.com on a device you trust (library or private window if home is watched).

  2. 02

    Click Deselect all — you do not need your whole Drive.

  3. 03

    Select Access Log Activity, My Activity, and Location History if listed.

  4. 04

    Choose Export once, .zip format, and the smallest size that fits (often 2 GB).

  5. 05

    Create export. Google emails a download link when ready (often 24–48 hours).

  6. 06

    Download the zip to a USB stick or Downloads folder you will clear after the check.

Stay safer while you wait

  • Do not leave the zip on a shared Desktop.
  • If email is monitored, download at a library and run the check there.
  • Esc on any Good Forensics page is Quick exit.

When the file is ready

  • Bring the zip to /forensics/check — the file never leaves your browser.
