Seems like a great opportunity for folk to reevaluate whether they need a Google account at all. I finally escaped in September, after first trying all the way back in 2011. Dragged my feet for so long until eventually just saying "fuck it" after a few glasses of wine, and even recorded a screen cap of the final GAFYD deletion.

For anyone attempting escape, rclone seems to be the only tool that supports exporting all Google Docs ever shared to the account. Google Takeout (or the equivalent GAFYD tool) worked for everything else
