Google Takeout Merge Tool: Unzips and merges all your exported data into a single folder

takeout-merge.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

destDir="../Takeout-merge"
mkdir -p $destDir

# Merges the different unzipped Takeout folders into one

for p in $(seq -f "%03g" 1 ${1:-1}); do
	if [ -f $p/DONE ]; then
		echo "Skipping $p/Takeout ... "
		continue
	fi
	echo "Merging $p/Takeout into {$destDir} ... "
	# t = preserve modification times
	# q = quiet, suppress non-error messages
	# r = recursive on folders
	# X = preserved extended attributes
	# X = skip files which are newer in dest than in src
	# h = output numbers in a human-readable format
	rsync -rtXhu --info=progress2 --safe-links --remove-source-files $p/Takeout {$destDir}
	touch "$p/DONE"
	echo "DONE merging $p"
done

echo "ALL MERGED!"

takeout-unzip.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Unzips all Takeout archive files (living in the same dir)

archiveTimestamp=${2:-"20000101T100000Z"}

for p in $(seq -f "%03g" 1 ${1:-1}); do
  f="takeout-${archiveTimestamp}-$p.zip"
  if [ ! -f "$f" ]; then
    echo "Archive not found: $f. Skipping ... "
    continue
  fi
  mkdir -p $p
  cd $p
  echo "Unzipping takeout-${archiveTimestamp}-$p.zip ..."
  unzip "../takeout-${archiveTimestamp}-$p.zip"
  echo "DONE unzipping $p"
  cd ..
done

echo "ALL UNZIPPED!"

Usage:

Given a directory with this file pattern:

./takeout-20181016T122422Z-001.tgz
./takeout-20181016T122422Z-002.tgz
./takeout-20181016T122422Z-003.tgz
Then we call these commands:

./takeout-unzip.sh 3 20181016T122422Z
./takeout-merge.sh 3
And everything will be merged under ./../Takeout-merge

Why would you need a script (or in your case two) for this? Use brace expansion, cat the TGZs, and extract:
cat takeout-20201023T123551Z-{001..011}.tgz | tar xzivf -

They were zip files.

Just this works:

unzip '*.zip' -d complete-takeout

Dear, author. I am completely lost, zero, nothing in programming. I just need to merge and extract all the data from my drive and I found this page which I believe would solve my issue. But I have no idea how to do this. Can you elaborate it a little bit more for me in terms what tools to use, how to operate, etc. Any help will be so much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

There is an Bug in rsync line: {$destDir} -> ${destDir}

@MarkusKress you do not need to use this script at all. See https://gist.github.com/chabala/22ed01d7acf9ee0de9e3d867133f83fb

This worked like a charm, even on Windows using Git bash 👍
