When you leave these hallowed grounds…..you CAN take your Google Docs with you.

Login to your Drive or email [http://login.mountdesales.net is a handy way]
Open a new tab [Control-T, usually]
Surf to https://www.google.com/takeout
Select what you want to take with you
Select the best options for you – waiting for the download, or getting an email when the archive is ready to download. [Hint: It will probably take a while for the archive to be available]

The Wikipedia explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Takeout

BUT:

You can’t just upload that archive into a new Google account. Google Takeout is outbound only, there is no inbound/restore function. But the following will help if that’s what you want to do.
