Super welcoming :). Re: Java, ya its in the roadmap that the adapters should be language agnostic. Forcing them all into one language, regardless of what it is, is kind of lame. Check out https://github.com/google/data-

It turns out reports of the Data Liberation Front demise have been greatly exaggerated. We are still very actively improving Google Takeout[0] as well as developing other products[1]. The thing that didn't last was running a quasi-o

It's true the sales people do out number us here in Chicago, but we do have O(100) engineers in the office. We are working on lots of cool stuff: Ads, Search, and Privacy to name a couple.

It does, there was a lot of debate on whether it should or not. If you have strong opinions one way or the other I would love to hear them as we are open to changing that behavior. If you don't want that behavior, or just want to expo

Sorry about that. Did you try the move to drive option? One of the reasons we added the ability to move the finished archive to Drive was to allow users with unreliable internet connections to use the Drive Sync tool to sync the finished

I agree it is complicated and busy, on the other hand I hate having to refresh a CAPTCHA 20 time to find one I can do. My two concerns would be it seem to load pretty slow for me (5-10 seconds). And what do people without a mouse do? I kn
