Google's new Takeout interface (see image). Good stuff: allows storing the data in other non-Drive services (Box, Dropbox), periodic exports, granular selection of data, good coverage of common formats. Bad stuff: still no actual portability through interoperability - you cannot do service-to-service transfer.

Screenshot of article 6 paragraph 9 of the EU's Digital Markets Act which obliges gatekeepers like Google to enable users to port their data away to a competing service.

@ilumium That is what I was thinking about as well - and since the GDPR data portability export is effectively a scramble of data, I suspect platforms will provide the same data under DSA/DMA. What would be interesting to see is the limits of data provided regarding "generated through activity of end user". Currently, Netflix interprets this as just providing e.g. what you clicked on rather than inferences made.
