Some reasons why google takeout zips don't extract

 

  1. I've had too many fails with google takeout not cooperating with File Explorer in Windows
  2. I even tried winzip evaluation copy. Still no joy. But winzip gave me a hint -- it didn't like the titles of  some of the folders and files inside the zip file. 
  3. Then I googled "best zip software for downloading Google Drive files"
  4. I found and downloaded zip extractor from Google Workspace Marketplace. A writeup appears to say that it can work around large file names.
  5. But then I got confused
  6. So then I started over without marketplace
  7. Instead I downloaded to my hard drive from MC store the Zip Extractor Pro free
