Google recently announced that they are shutting down Google+ to the general public. The shutdown is currently scheduled for August 2019 in order to provide time for Google+ users to export a copy of their data. Google+ will be reformatted into an enterprise product whereby co-workers can engage in secure internal discussions via a corporate social network.
How To Download Your Google+ Data
You must use Google Takout to download your Google+ data. Download all of the following Google+ related products from the list:
- G+ +1s
- Google+ Circles
- Google+ Communities
- Google+ Stream
To download your Google+ Pages content, sign in to Google Takeout as the Google+ Page owner, for example. Otherwise the option will not show in your account data to export list.
Social network sites like Google+ and Facebook are a great way to engage with customers and help boost traffic to your personal or business website. But let this closure of Google+ remind everyone that a social network page or profile is not a replacement for a website of your own.
Buy your own domain name and setup a website or blog sooner rather than later. Otherwise be prepared to download your Google+ like profile and page data again.
