- People trying to browse their Google Takeout exports
- Worth noticing
- The viewer reads an unzipped export locally and lists support for 61 Google services.
Field notes
The workflow starts with an unzipped Google Takeout folder rather than an upload. The page says the browser stores a shortcut to the selected folder plus dates and filenames, so it does not need to re-read thousands of files each time. Examples include a Photos view with timeline metadata, a Lake Bled location, and a Pixel 7 device label.
