You can download your  google data except gmail into zip file via:

You may want to backup and archive your gmail.
Solution one:
1) Backup gmail to Google drive:

First open this "Gmail archiver spreadsheet" and select File->Make a Copy.
 Select "Gmail Drive Backup" menu, click "Initialize
 Now select "Gmail Drive Backup" again and click "Start Daily Gmail Backup". You will be asked to enter the Gmail Label you want to archive. This application is able to archive the attachment. But this script also remove the original mails in the label. The next solution is better.
