There&#8217;s an online tool option, or you can try using Apple Mail if you have a Mac. We&#8217;ll give you step-by-step instructions for the manual method if that&#8217;s what you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Manually_Open_Downloaded_Google_Takeout_Files\"><\/span>#1.

Here&#8217;s how to do it with Google Takeout:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, log in to Gmail and go to https:\/\/takeout.google.com\/settings\/takeout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After that, you&#8217;ll see a list of Google services. Uncheck everything by clicking &#8220;deselect all.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, scroll down and check the box for &#8220;Mail (Gmail).&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, choose how you desire your emails saved (MBOX or EML). Both work, pick whichever you prefer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Subsequently, decide how to receive the download (email or cloud storage).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click &#8220;Next step&#8221; and then &#8220;Create export&#8221; to archive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Google will email you when your archive is ready. Follow the instructions to download it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now to view your downloaded emails:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Now, look for an email client to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cigatisolutions.com\/blog\/import-mbox-file-in-thunderbird\/\">open MBOX files in Thunderbird<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, upload your downloaded Gmail archive using the tool&#8217;s instructions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At last, browse your emails and attachments. You should be able to see everything you downloaded.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, we accomplished a manual method that helps users to open Google Takeout Files on Windows and Mac. Moreover, the other solution that will be discussed further can only be performed on Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_View_Google_Takeout_Files_on_Mac\"><\/span>#2. View Google Takeout Files on Mac<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a Mac and your Gmail download is in MBOX format, you can use Apple Mail to open it. Follow the below steps to read your Google Takeout files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, open Apple Mail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After that, click on &#8220;File&#8221; in the menu bar, then select &#8220;Import Mailboxes.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, choose &#8220;Files in MBOX format&#8221; and click &#8220;Continue.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, select the location where you saved your MBOX file and click &#8220;Choose.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, Apple Mail will start importing your emails. Once done, click &#8220;Done.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You&#8217;ll now find your Gmail emails in an&#8221;Import Folder&#8221; within Apple Mail.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We have gone through two manual approaches to open Google Takeout files. Moreover, you have to repeat the above steps if you want to view files in bulk. As a result, it consumes a lot of time while performing the steps. If you want to accomplish the procedure easily, follow the upcoming solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Access_Google_Takeout_Files_in_a_Few_Clicks_%E2%80%93_Pro_Solution\"><\/span>#3.
