Google-Docs-Backup

Google-Docs-Backup is a project mainly written in Python, it's free.

python script to backup google docs - Main difference with GDataCopier, http://gdatacopier.googlecode.com/, is the support for arborescent backup (collections).

gdocsbackup.py Simple Python Scripts to export automatically all the Google Docs that I own (crontab...) NOTE : this is only an export of the document. Due to some limitations on Google Docs service some kind of "Documents" can't be re-imported back. Drawings are exported in .svg format, useable in Inkscape or another svg editor. But when you reimport .svg files in Google Documents, a simple "dumb" file will be created, not a "Drawing" one.. so you lose all svg stuff, it's just a simple flat picture.. Ouch!

gtransfer.py
A more advanced script to easier the process of migration from a standard "Google docs" account to a new "Google App Pro" account. Google does not allow simple migration of document, you have to do it manually or use this script. Basically, it will make a copy of each of your owned docs of your old account in your new account. Be sure to read all the limitations (versions are lost..) before using it! I have successfully proceed to the migration of 20+ more accounts with this script.

You will need :

  • Python 2.x is mandatory: http://www.python.org/getit/ Python 3 is not (yet) supported by Google Data API see : https://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/issues/detail?id=229
