Export your organization's data

Data Export provides export functionality for G Suite Core Services. Note that data that users have deleted is unavailable for export.

If you prefer that your users download their own data, refer them to Download your data. 

Requirements

To use the data export tool, you must:

• Have held an account in your domain for a period of 30 days or more, if your domain was created more than 30 days ago.
• Be a super administrator of your Google domain.
• Have 2-Step Verification enforced on your account. This is required only for the admin performing the export.
• Have fewer than 1,000 users on your Google Account. If you have more than 1,000 users, contact Google Cloud Support to temporarily enable the data export tool.

Export your users' data

1. Open the data export tool.
   Tip: To do this from the Google Admin console: at the top right, click Open , and under Tools, click data export.
2. Click Start export.

Data export typically takes 72 hours but can take up to 9 days, depending on the size of your data export. You'll get an email to notify you when the process is complete and ready to import to an alternative service.

If you prefer that your users download their own data, refer them to Download your data.

View the exported data

In your confirmation email or in the data export tool, click Access archive.

In the archive, click the folder to see a list of user folders. Each user folder contains a zip file of that user's data. Click the zip file to download the data of a user, then unzip the file to see each user's data by product. The exported data is available for 30 days and then it's permanently deleted.
