Google Takeout to PST – Here’s the Best Solution You Have Been Looking for!

How to Convert Google Takeout to PST? If you are looking for the best solution to convert your files, you have reached the right place.

Google Takeout is a service by Google that lets you download data from all of Google services into files that you can save locally on your computer for backup reasons. You can download Google data whenever you want, but most users often do it when, for some reason, they are deleting or deactivating their Google service but do not want to permanently lose their data. The most common example of this is Gmail by Google.

Google Takeout – Backup Your Gmail Data

If you are thinking of deleting your Gmail account, Google Takeout lets you download and backup all your emails and folders associated with your account. But the only problem is that the file Google gives you download as a backup of your emails is in MBOX format, which is file format incompatible with Outlook.

This can be problematic for Outlook users, for either Mac OS or Windows platforms. As you reading this article, you must be aware by now that the Google Takeout cannot be used inside Outlook environment.

One of the more drawn-out and strenuous ways you can still access this backup file from Gmail in MBOX format by installing a free email client called Thunderbird.

Thunderbird is an open source, Windows compatible, and free email that that can open MBOX files. Which is the reason many users who like to open their emails stored in MBOX file use Thunderbird.

But this is not efficient or a satisfactory method, if you are not a Thunderbird user. Because in addition to installing Thunderbird and importing MBOX files, you then also need to find a way to migrate it again from Thunderbird into Outlook.

Moving data from Thunderbird (Windows version) to Outlook Windows is also technically possible but the process is really painstaking.

This is why converting Google Takeout to PST is the best option to import emails from your Google/Gmail account to Outlook. PST is a native format for Windows Outlook, but it also offers an added benefit of being able to import it into Mac Outlook as well.
