Now that I've backed up all my Google+ "stuff", and with Google+ closing, how do I access the data I've downloaded?

Now that I've backed up all my Google+ "stuff", with Google+ closing, how do I access the data I've downloaded? Most important are e-mails(I have a standard Gmail account, although I pay for extra storage).

Of top interest to me are Gmail, Youtube, and Google Drive. Takeout also backed up Google Play Store, where a I have a couple of purchases. Is Play Store going away too?

What Google+ support pages relating to this do you think are a priority to read? Since it is closing tomorrow, I'm giving this question highest priority.

It's only Google + which is going, not gmail or any of their other platforms.

Thanks, Alex, but I'm not sure what the implications are of that closing, as I don't know which Google products are being affected. Also, I have a standard Gmail acct, with and inbox, and I read that "Google is closing Inbox". Are they talking about free Gmail? It's so confusing to a lay person.

I received a link from the Google+ Team, and backed up then, then I did an additional backup of selected individual products from takeout archiving page yesterday. I downloaded to my desktop.
