How To Download Your Facebook Data Into Hard Drive

There is now a feature that allows Facebook users to download their Facebook data in a .zip file.
You can access the “Download Your Information” feature from the Facebook / Account menu, under your account settings.

then press the learn more button from the option Download your Information

Facebook will ask you to confirm your identity by entering your password

Then Press the Download Now button and wait for an email to come

Wait for Facebook to process your info and deliver your package , then Check your mail box

Facebook will provide you with a unique link to get your files , clik on this link

It will take time to download all of it so be patient,

Depending on your connection and the number of update you have on your Facebook account ( photo, video .. ) the files can be pretty big to download , mine was 700 Mo.

When you extract the file it will create a directory with the name of your username , Facebook will allow you to download everything off your profile, including your friends list, events, all of your messages, wall posts and all of your photos & videos into a zip file.

Under the htlm directory you will find your profile, your messages ( inbox and outbox day by day ) , a list of your friend ( names only ) , your wall ( all your messages and comments from other , likes ..)  . Open each file using using your favorite browser , I personally spent lot of time viewing the history of all my messages and it’s fast to browse everything in a single file, I hope  the download option will be still available in a couple of years from now.
