How to prepare a CSV file for migration

Migration from personal Google Drive or OneDrive accounts

Which disks in Yandex 360 for Business would you like to transfer the files to?

To the employees' personal disks
  1. Download the template and populate it with data.

    How to populate the file

    The first row in the file is the account field headers. Don't delete it. For every following row in the file, specify the data in quotes, separated by semicolons:

    • yandex_login: Include the employee usernames for the personal Yandex Disks you're moving files to.

      Important: For migration from Microsoft OneDrive, the usernames should match the account names in Microsoft 365. For example, for the account i.ivanov@example.test, enter the username i.ivanov.

      If you're migrating from Google Drive, this isn't required.

    • external_email: Specify the user's email used to log in to the account. In Microsoft 365, it's also called UserPrincipalName (UPN). You can find it in the admin center under Users → Active users. Other user emails won't work.

    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.

    Expected results

    "yandex_login";"external_email"
    "i.ivanov";"i.ivanov@example.test"
    "m.makarova";"m.makarova@example.test"
    
  2. Save the CSV file in UTF-8 encoding (in Microsoft Excel, click Save asCSV-UTF8). If you save the file in a different encoding, it won't be recognized correctly.
