    In fairness, when you carry out that backup Google seem to word it such that you do believe that you’re downloading the actual files.

      Wait, when you visit Google takeout and select Google drive, it doesn’t actually give you the files, just the links to them?

      I guess that makes it better on the users part and just makes it a classic Google “fuck you”

      What’s the backups purpose even, than? To get the links to multiple files at once or something? I don’t really get why you would want that
