Step 2: Scan and assess Google Drives

After you have connected to Google, add the Drives to scan and assess.

  1. Select Add Drives and choose a method: to look for new users in Google Drives, target a single source path, or bulk upload the source paths using a CSV file. You can choose to automatically start scanning or do it later. However, all drives must be scanned before you can migrate them.

  2. After adding the drives, highlight any or all of the drives and then select Scan if you haven't already.

Important

The total number cannot exceed 50,000 tasks.

  1. Once the scan is complete, a table summary displays to give you an at-a-glance overview of your users. The summary includes content size, migration readiness, and any issues that need attention. Review the scanned users. Search for specific text, or select a filter to review the list more easily or download summary and detailed reports to troubleshoot further.

Download reports

Summary and detailed scan reports are available to assist you in troubleshooting. Download the generated reports and logs to investigate any possible issues that might block your migration.

Managing Drives that own large amounts of data

Upon completing your scan, download the scan reports and review/address any large source data owners.

A migration task (Google Drive) should not exceed 100,000 items or 1 TB of data. To enable faster transfers, Google Drives with large data sets should be divided into smaller migration tasks based on their root folders.

To split a Drive into multiple migration tasks, follow these steps:

  1. Delete the Drive.
  2. Select Add Drives from the command bar.
  3. In the side panel that appears, select Multiple specific Drives.
  4. Download and edit the provided .csv template file to divide the user into multiple tasks. For example:
    • LargeDrive01@contoso.com/folder01
    • LargeDrive01@contoso.com/folder02
    • LargeDrive01@contoso.com/folder03
    • LargeDrive01@contoso.com/folder04
  5. Save the updated .csv file and upload it to create the divided migration tasks.
