WorkplaceTakeout

A simple console application for taking out (majority of) Workplace contents.

Description

This is a custom-made takeout .NET Framework console application to extract content of interest from Workplace using Workplace integration.

This is not an official Facebook Workplace takeout application. I made this to extract data to migrate to other platform.

Be careful of the amount of data extracted. Please study the Workplace's Platform Policies.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• .NET Framework >4.6.1 - you can change the target framework, but this should be the minimum.
• Visual Studio 2019 - you can use Community edition. The required workload: .NET desktop development

Dependencies

Executing
