Export all Google Docs with a couple of clicks

This post may give you that sense of deja-vu given my recent Google Docs post on a similiar export topic; however, Google has made the liberation of your data from Google Docs even easier. Learn how it is even easier to download and archive your Google Docs data in just a few simple steps. Yep, it's as easy as 1-2-3 and you can learn how right after the click. What are you waiting for? The liberation of your data is at stake!

Exporting all Google Docs:

• Enter docs.google.com into your browser address bar
• If you haven’t logged into your account, do so using the Google login screen – the Google Docs files listings page will be displayed
• In the All items area (or the My Folders area if you selected a specific folder of files) click a single file – this step is necessary to activate the Export... menu option described in the next step
  
• Click the More actions button – the More actions drop-down menu will be displayed as shown in the image below

• Select the Export… option as highlighted in the image above – the Convert, Zip, and Download Files window will appear as shown below:

 

• Click the Export all your files (up to 2Gb) option as pointed out in the image above – Google docs will collect all the documents and present a listing of the number of file types that will be added to the archive download file
• If you would like a different file format other than those presented, use the drop-down menus to make those selections
  
• Click the Continue button and your files will be archived and presented for download

Refer to my previous Google Docs export post for additional directions if you don't find the remainder of the procedure intuitive

Granted, this isn't a huge change over the old way of exporting our documents, but it does streamline the process a bit and make things less confusing. My only wish now is that Google would provide the oft rumored Google Drive complete with DropBox type functionality for continuous syncing. Combine that with the 200Gb of storage for $50 and you have the makings for a clear cloud winner! Whatcha think? Drop a comment and let me know.
