Migration scope

Move files into the right Google Drive structure

A file migration to Google Drive is not just about moving documents. Folder structures, ownership, permissions and shared content need to be planned so users can find and access the files they need after cutover.

CloudM helps you plan and migrate the file sources organizations rely on every day:

Move files and folders from Microsoft 365 into Google Drive or Shared Drives while planning for permissions and folder structure.

Move on-premise file shares into Google Shared Drives, helping teams modernize shared storage.

Migrate files from cloud storage platforms into Google Drive while preserving folder hierarchies where supported.

Migration planning

Plan file structure, permissions and Shared Drive access before migration

Google Drive file migrations are messy because business context often lives in the structure around the files, not just the files themselves.

Folder hierarchy, ownership, access control lists, comments, links and shared team spaces all need to be reviewed before data moves into Google Drive.

CloudM helps teams manage the decisions that make or break a file migration into Google Drive:

Assess your file sources

Review files across OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox, Box, file systems or existing Google Drive environments, including item counts, folder depth, ownership and permission complexity.

Decide where files should land

Plan whether content should move into My Drive, Google Drive folders or Shared Drives, especially when replacing legacy file shares or team-based storage.

Preserve folder structure where needed

Recreate source folder hierarchies when users rely on them, or use the migration to simplify outdated folder structures before cutover.

Review ownership and access control lists

Map permissions and sharing rules before migration so users can access the right files in Google Drive or Shared Drives after cutover.

Control what moves

Use filters such as file type, created date or folder path to exclude outdated, unnecessary or unsupported content from the migration.
