Document

  • Migrate all Drive items: Migrate all Drive items necessary for full-fidelity migration. Setting this to false may result in folder layout discrepancies and sharing issues.
  • Exclude external permissions: Only migrate permissions from users/groups that are members of any domain belonging to the source tenant.
  • Exclude explicit domain permissions: Do not migrate any ACLs from any of the specified domains.
  • Check external drive sharing: Check if external domain sharing is enabled when migrating from Google Drive to Drive. This can be disabled if Drive sharing is disabled and you have whitelisted the destination domain in the source domain.
  • Migrate items only from listed users: Migrate only Drive items from those users listed on the users page. 'Migrate All Drive Items' should also be true for this setting to apply. If you want to migrate folders from users other than those being migrated, be sure to include them on the users page but do not select them for migration.
  • Migrate contents of non-owned folders: Migrate contents of folders not owned by the migrating user. This usually only needs enabling when some users are not migrated to the destination.
  • Migrate orphaned folders: Migrate orphaned Google Drive folders that have no parents. This can cause a migration to take longer due to an increase in the required number of requests. Note that orphaned files are always migrated.
  • Preserve modified date: When migrating Google Drive items, attempt to preserve the last modified date in the source domain.
  • Maximum results per request (Drive API): The maximum number of results to return for individual queries to the Drive API.
