The Data Liberation Front (the Data Liberation Front)

Google freedom to leave interop compatibility

We intend for this site to be a central location for information on how to move your data in and out of Google products. Welcome.

The Data Liberation Front

The Data Liberation Front is an engineering team at Google whose
singular goal is to make it easier for users to move their data in and
out of Google products. We do this because we believe that you should be able to export any data that you create in (or import into) a product. We help and consult other engineering teams within Google on how to
"liberate" their products. This is our mission statement:

Users should be able to control the data they store in
any of Google's
products. Our team's goal is to
make
it easier for them to move data in and out.
