Own your cloud archive — the build checklist

A free PDF: how to move the cold half of your Google Drive and Gmail to a read-only archive on a box you own — so you stop paying for storage you never open, and no old file ever gets deleted by accident.

One page, six steps + the exact tools:

• Decide what's working-set (keep in the cloud) vs cold record (archive it)
• Export it all with Google Takeout — Drive & Gmail
• Stand up the archive — files & mail, served read-only
• Your own subdomains, HTTPS, one scoped account per user
• Back it up 3-2-1 — the two-USB rule
• Verify everything works, then delete from the cloud
