Embedded Files
With Google Takeout, your users can download a copy of data contained in their Google Workspace account. The data is from core and additional services, such as Drive and YouTube, that are integrated with Takeout. For example, a user can download Drive files from their Google Workspace account and upload them to another Google Account.
As a Google Workspace Admin, you can control who uses Google Takeout in your organization. If you don’t allow Takeout for a service, the user’s view of Takeout doesn’t include the service nor the option to export data from the service. For example, you can allow users to use Takeout for Google Photos and YouTube, but not for Google Pay.
