How it works

From inbox to done in three steps

Google Takeout is the official way to export your Gmail, and for a full account backup it does the job. But if what you want is your attachments, Takeout is the long way around. It produces a single MBOX file with every attachment encoded inside as text. To reach your PDFs and photos you still need a desktop email client or a script.

Dioveo skips all of that. It indexes your mailbox, shows you every attachment as a file, and exports exactly what you select as normal, ready-to-use files in organized zips.

1

Sign in with Google

One click, no forms. Dioveo uses official Google APIs and never sees your password.

2

Pick what to export

Everything, or just some senders, types, or date ranges. Takeout is all or nothing per label. Dioveo exports exactly the set you choose.

3

Download organized zips

Files arrive with their real names, sorted into folders by sender and year. No MBOX, no Thunderbird, no scripts.

Why Dioveo

Built for exactly this job

Files, not archives. Every attachment is exported as the file it is: the PDF, the photo, the spreadsheet. Nothing needs unpacking with another tool.

Selective exports. Export a year of invoices or one client folder without pulling your entire mailbox every time.

Organized on arrival. Zips mirror your Library folders, with structure by sender and year, so the export is usable the moment it lands.

Straight to your cloud. Send the export to Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive instead of your download folder.

“The download and export are the strongest part. My Drive kept the exact category structure, folders and subfolders. No manual reorganizing.”
AliSoftware Developer
“From sign-up to cloud sync, everything just worked. My attachments were indexed, I found files instantly, and the Drive sync did exactly what it promised.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does Google Takeout export Gmail attachments as separate files?
No. Takeout exports Gmail as an MBOX archive with attachments embedded inside each message as encoded text. To get the files out you need an email client like Thunderbird or a script. Dioveo exports the attachments themselves as normal files.
Is Dioveo a full mailbox backup like Takeout?
No, and that is the point. Takeout backs up your emails. Dioveo extracts your files. If you need the messages themselves archived, run Takeout for that and use Dioveo for the attachments you actually work with.
How much does the export cost?
Full Mailbox Export is a 19 dollar one-time purchase, no subscription needed, and it is included with Pro. The free plan lets you search everything and download up to 15 attachments per day.
How long does it take?
Indexing a typical mailbox takes minutes. Very large mailboxes keep indexing in the background and you get an email when everything is ready. Takeout exports can take hours to days depending on size.
