I use an app from Microsoft called SMS Organizer. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/garage/profiles/sms-organize... It scans my SMS and nicely categorizes all my transactions.
Axios (previously Walnut) also does the job well, but it's very cluttered after the latest update. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.daamitt.wa...
Not sure if these apps are globally available.
They could replace it with a neat AR experience using the same mobile devices. It will be expensive but will give the user a nice user experience.
BTW chat is really useful feature in P2P payments.
I have tried to spin off an Amazon EC2 instance to download and copy to an S3 bucket. But it logs out every few minutes disrupting the downloads. It will not allow to down the same file multiple times. If one zip fails, the whole set is useless.
- the export size is around 176 gb. Mostly photos.
- it has the option to move to one drive or box. But 100 gb on Google will be 200 gb on one drive. Images are copied into multiple folders to recreate the albums. Note that google photos automatically create albums for family and trips.
- tried to use 2gb zip to split the files. We have to click and download 100+ pieces of zip files. Even if one file is corrupt we are done. All this shows in a modal window. We can't download more than 5-8 files at a time.
- split it into 5gb zip files. Now download numbers are manageable, but the network keeps dropping and we have to download again. We can only retry 3 times making the entire set useless.
- no options to separate videos and photos.
- we only have a week to takeout and test the whole thing.
TLDR; it's designed to make sure that we don't actually take out the files...
As usual there was no response from Google/ Forums etc. All I could speculate is the loss of backlinks. It takes months to reach the original level.
Keep improving the site and you should be back and kicking in 6 months.
Google, on the other hand, rolled out Google Pay (Previously Tez) based on UPI platform by teaming up with major banks. Its really popular these days.
