A long awaited feature is finally coming to your Gmail and Google Calendar. In the coming months you will be able to download a copy of all your Gmail data, while the feature is available today for Google Calendars. This is great for users who want to backup data that is important to them, or transfer it to another service.

Here’s a little more information on the update from the Gmail team:

You can download all of your mail and calendars or choose a subset of labels and calendars. You can also download a single archive file for multiple products with a copy of your Gmail, Calendar, Google+, YouTube, Drive, and other Google data.

 

The ability to download your Gmail messages will be rolled out over the next month while Calendar data is available to download for everyone today.
