This feature isnt available on team accounts. Google Takeout is part of, a Google project that wants to make it easy for you to import and export data out of various Google products. This article describes a feature available to all individual Dropbox users. Google Takeout will export your Google Documents in standard Office file formats by default - Excel for spreadsheets or PowerPoint for Presentations - but you also have an option to export files in either PDF or OpenOffice formats.
It will create a zip file with all your Google Docs files and you can either keep the browser window open while the archive is being readied or download that file later from the Google Takeout website. Once you have logged in to Google Takeout with your Google Account, select the Google Docs service and hit the “Create Archive” button. Do you want to put all your Google Docs files on a USB drive before you take that road trip? The Google Docs website does offer an easy option to help you download all your documents in one zip file but there’s another simpler alterative that you may want to give a try – it’s called Google Takeout.
