Eavesdropper: You can takeout the data anytime, but can you leave?

Last week, Google announced that it would be making it easier for users to export albums from Google and create a backup elsewhere. While users could export images from Google, the service did not allow them to export albums. Making it difficult to categorise images.

Companies have been trying to increasingly make it easier for users to access their data. The real transformation has been by Facebook. Earlier this year, Facebook started rolling out its service, which allows users to export their pictures directly to Google drive. This is the first attempt by any company to allow the transfer of data to another service. And, a first in data portability.
