More options for exporting your Google Workspace data are available in open beta
Update
[June 18, 2025] Rollout is complete
[May 1, 2025] We have rolled this feature back while we evaluate performance and quality. We will provide an update with new rollout information for Rapid & Scheduled Release domains when possible.
What’s changing
Beginning today, Admins can choose from several options when exporting their organization’s data (also known as ‘takeout’). Specifically, they will be able to:
- Export data from all or multiple services, such as Gmail, Chat, or Drive.
- Export Drive data based on existing Drive labels
- Export data from within a specific date range
- Export data from selected shared drives

Who’s impacted
Admins
Why it’s important
In 2022, we introduced the ability for admins to export user generated content by organizational unit (OU) or group, and prior to that update, data export was limited to a customer’s full set of user generated content. With this update, we continue to give our customers more flexibility and specificity over the data they export, which is important as business and compliance needs evolve.
