How to keep record of intraday 1 min tick data? (for free)

General

I have been downloading the Google Finance 1 min data for almost all scrips everyday. (Only EQ no F&O)

Currently I have them in .csv formats (excel files). I don’t know is there any effective way to handle them or store them for easy retrieval.

For each and every day, I get a separate file. Compiling them to cumulate the data in an MS Access database or something would be cumbersome.

Is there any easier way to store and retrieve like some software which can handle and form report out of it?

I think the best way to save any data is to make it retrievable in a way your charting tool can read it.

However I’m not sure how legal it is to save such data, considering that there are data vendors and the Exchange who sells the data for a certain cost.

Have you considered ‘Amibroker’ as an option?
