'How to copy data from Cloud Storage to my Local Windows Laptop

Google makes it difficult to get your data if you are not experienced in programming. I did a data export from Google to export all company data - Google Data Export

It shows the root folder and to download, I run this command (it automatically enters this command):

gsutil -m cp -r \ "gs://takeout-export-myUniqueID" \.

But I have no idea where it would save it being I am not a GCP customer, only Google Workspace. Workspace won't help because they say it's a GCP product but I am exporting from Workspace. Craziness

Can someone let me know the proper command to run on my local machine with Google's SDK to download this folder? I was able to start the download yesterday but it said there was an invalid character in the file names so it killed the export.

Appreciate any help!
