I've been a heavy Google Docs/Sheets/etc user since they launched almost two decades ago (2006).

I've exported to structured formats a handful of times, out of thousands of documents.

CryptPad really should build this though.



I had to export all of our documents and sheets out of Google Drive. I used something called Google Take Out, that packages everything and puts it somewhere where you can download zip files. It took a few days for it to be available. Except it didn’t do what it said it did. It didn’t export even half the files. I unpacked and compared with what was online.

In the end I had to download folders by hand. Took me half a day. And make sure they weren’t too big, because then it wouldn’t include everything.


I'm not sure which export you are talking about ? We have xlsx/docx/pptx import export (one by one).

What we don't have is local syncing with your computer.

That's all I wanted. I'm sorry that I was misled to indicate that you lacked this.
