Google Drive Migration

Cloudiway migrates all files from Google Drive including documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs, images, videos, and any other file types. Google native formats (Docs, Sheets, Slides) can be converted to Office formats or migrated as links that open in Google.

Google Docs are converted to Microsoft Word (.docx), Google Sheets to Excel (.xlsx), and Google Slides to PowerPoint (.pptx). Formatting, formulas, charts, and embedded images are preserved with high fidelity. You can also choose to keep them as links.

Yes, Cloudiway automatically maps and preserves file sharing permissions. Internal shares are converted to equivalent permissions in OneDrive/SharePoint, and external shares can be maintained or removed based on your security policies.

Yes, Google Shared Drives can be migrated to SharePoint team sites, document libraries, or Microsoft 365 Groups. Folder structure, permissions, and membership are preserved during migration.

No, Cloudiway's delta sync technology minimizes disruption. Users continue working in Google Drive during the pre-staging phase. Only a brief cutover window is needed for final synchronization.

Yes, Cloudiway supports cross-tenant Google Drive migrations for scenarios like mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, or tenant consolidation. All files, permissions, and Shared Drives can be migrated.

File version history can optionally be preserved during migration, depending on the destination platform's capabilities and your migration requirements.

Duration depends on data volume, number of files, and network bandwidth. With delta sync, you can pre-stage data over days or weeks while users work normally, then complete the cutover quickly.

File comments and suggestions are not migrated as they are Google-specific features that don't have direct equivalents in other platforms. However, all file content, metadata, and permissions are fully preserved.

Yes, Cloudiway offers a free trial so you can test the migration with your own data before committing to a full project. No credit card required to start.

Google Drive shortcuts (pointers to files owned by other users) are resolved during migration: Cloudiway follows each shortcut and migrates the underlying file into the destination so the recipient retains access. If the source user lacks permission on the target file, the shortcut is logged in the migration report rather than silently dropped, so administrators can act on the gap before cutover.
