Google Workspace (Google Drive)

Start migration

1. Prepare a secret, link a domain, and prepare employee accounts if you haven't already done so.

2. Make sure that each employee has enough space on their Yandex Disk to migrate their files from the source server.

3. In the left menu, select General settings → Migration.

4. Select what you want to migrate: click File migration.

5. Select where you want to migrate files from: click Google Workspace.

6. Upload the secret key file and click Next.

7. Specify the accounts for which you want to start migration:

   1. Download the CSV file template.

   2. Use the template to populate the file with the usernames of employees whose data you want to migrate.

      A migration file can contain no more than 20,000 rows

      If you need to migrate more employees, create an additional file and run another migration. It can run in parallel with the first one.

   3. Save the CSV file in UTF-8 encoding (in Microsoft Excel, click Save as → CSV-UTF8).

      Alert

      If you save the file in a different encoding, it won't be recognized correctly.

   4. Click Upload CSV and select your file.

8. Click Start migration.

   The status will change to Migrating.

   If some of the files are already on Yandex Disk (for example, they were moved earlier), the dates when they were last changed on Google Drive and Yandex Disk are compared, and the older versions are replaced with the newer ones.
