Backing up Google documents
I just had a panic moment when I thought that a Google document I’d spent the better part of a week writing had vanished. This is what I plan to do from now on, once a week, until I forget about it and stop doing it.
- In Google Docs, go down to the far left bottom menu item, and select “More V” and then “All Items”.
- Click the select box at the top of the screen next to “TITLE” to select all items.
- Click the “More V” button at the top middle of the screen, next to the eyeball (“Preview”) icon, and select “Download”.
- Select “Change all formats to… OpenOffice”, and click the “Download” button.
- Wait a couple of minutes and then download the file somewhere.
