You have a tiny window to download a huge archive and you can't restart the download.

In theory it's great in practice you don't have access to it.

You can now link the takeout to another cloud provider (e.g. Dropbox or Microsoft OneDrive). And configure the takeout to take place every two month (for up to 6 times).

So you just need to configure the takeout once a year and you'll automatically receive a backup once every two month.

This is nice, thanks for pointing it out. It's a shame though you can't export to something like S3.

I just turned it on and they can now transfer the files to Dropbox or another storage provider.
