Click Ok. Then, click Next step. 

Step 3 - Customize the archive format. For Delivery method, choose Add to Drive. For Frequency, choose Export Once. For File type & size, choose .zip and 2 GB.

Step 4 - Once you have configured your options, click on Create Export. This will begin the process for creating an archive which will then be saved to your Google Drive.

Step 5 - Once the archive is complete, a screen will display the archive with the option to open in Drive. Download this archive and save it to a USB flash drive, personal computer, or an external device. If you don’t see this option, or have closed the window, navigate to https://drive.google.com and locate the folder labeled ‘Takeout’. In this folder you will find the archive that you have generated. Once located, simply download this archive and save it to a USB flash drive, personal computer, or some other external device.
