Google Docs all free

The Data Liberation Front announces the availability of Google Takeout option in order to “liberate” the data preservatives on Google Docs.

The Data Liberation Front gets a new success: the “movement” that aims to facilitate the release of the data stored within the Google service that adds the important element of Google Docs to their results, thereby providing users more and more freedom of action.

The principle that drives the Data Liberation Front that is to bind data to a service that means limiting users to the service. This is something completely contrary to the Google policy, something that the group intends to turn away by itself with such practices on the contrary to allow maximum freedom of choice. Liberate the data means therefore make easy export, so that (if you chose to abandon Google Docs to switch to a competitor service) you can have your documents quickly, without barriers and without limitations.

Various services are already “liberated” from the Data Liberation Front. Technically, all this is done by adding Google Docs options from Google Takeout (the tool designed specifically for the export of data from servers in Mountain View), thus opening the download in a single click. The user also has several options for choosing data storage format, so you may have in the archive mode of your favorite. If the files were already downloaded to be exported, the novelty lies in the principle expressed by Google Takeout: data can be exported in a click, with dedicated function and without any friction.

Yesterday, Google introduced its new policy for the protection of personal data on the various owned sites. Today, the Data Liberation Front adds a new element to its portfolio. The director of the two initiatives is the same: transparency and freedom, so that the user can choose. The authors of “Focus on the user” are not likely to agree, but each side has strong arguments to its bow. It will be the authority to determine who is forcing his hand, and those who actually operate in the name of freedom.
