Hey Edo-B
Checkout this link to Wiki How . I think the archive option might be the best bet.
Open your Google Account page. Go to https://myaccount.google.com/ in a web browser. This will open the Account Settings page for your Google Account if you're logged in.- If you aren't logged into your Google Account, click the blue Sign in button in the upper-right side of the page, then enter your email address and password before proceeding.
Click Control your content. It's under the "Personal info and privacy" heading.
- You may have to scroll down a bit to see this option.
Click CREATE ARCHIVE. It's on the right side of the page, just under the "Download your data" heading.
Click SELECT NONE. This grey button is on the right side of the page.
Scroll down and click the grey "Drive" switch
. This switch, which is across from the "Drive" heading that's about a third of the way down the page, will turn blue , signifying that your Google Drive files will be downloaded.
- You can also click the grey switch next to any other Google products you wish to include in the archive.
Scroll down and click NEXT. It's a blue button at the bottom of the page.
Select an archive size. Click the "Archive Size" drop-down box, then click a size which matches (or exceeds) your Google Drive download size.
- If your Google Drive is larger than the size selected, it will download multiple zip files.
Click CREATE ARCHIVE. It's at the bottom of the page. Google Drive will begin assembling a ZIP folder with all of your Drive contents in it.
