Make migrations easy with a platform-agnostic data migration tool that has zero infrastructure, advanced features, and lightning-fast speeds with no software to install and no lengthy onboarding required.
Try Movebot with 250GB freeMigrating files and content into Google Drive, users or shared drives can be straightforward. But the limitations put in place by Google can be a major obstacle for certain migration tools. Fortunately, Movebot can overcome Google Drive migration limitations so you can have fast and easy migrations with Google.
There are two main limitations when migrating into Google: The first is shared drive limits that restricts the amount of data in a single shared drive. The other is a daily upload limit per user.
However both limitations are easy to overcome with Movebot. Google is very relaxed when it comes to restrictions, especially compared to the likes of SharePoint that has restrictions on character types and file path lengths. Migrating out of Google is a different story, but migrating into Google is very simple if you are using a tool like Movebot that can bypass Google Drive migration limitations.
Google Shared Drive has a limit of 400,000 files per shared drive. So how do you get around this? Well, you can't. There's no way to increase the limit of files in a single drive. But that doesn't mean you have no options.
Your best course of action is splitting the data across multiple shared drives. However, knowing that this is an issue or understanding your data and file structure to work through this can be challenging, especially if you don't have the right tool. A tool such as Movebot enables you to run a pre-migration scan across your entire Google domain (users and drives) and it provides you with a breakdown of the data and how it is distributed. Best of all, it will give you a warning if it detects more than 400,000 files in a location prior to migrating into a Shared Drive.
Google has a hard and fast limit of 750GB upload per user per day. This impacts migration times, especially for larger organizational migrations that have a large amount of data going into shared drives.
Unfortunately, user-to-user migrations are bound by this limit, but data into shared drives can bypass this restriction using Movebot. What this means is that if you are moving more than 750GB into a shared drive, you won't get stopped at the limit put in place by Google. Instead, you can move terabytes of files per day into Google, allowing for much faster data migrations.
If you're looking to migrate to Google Drive, or if you are planning your migration, head to Movebot and see how both the team and the tool can help you. For a detailed guide on migrating to Google Drive head to Movebot's knowledge base.
Forget complex pricing based on users and licenses. Simply pay for the amount of data you move and nothing else.
Movebot's support team was legendary in their quick responses and willingness to jump on a video conference to talk through how to resolve the problems. They have deep knowledge of their product and of the file storage platforms their solution is built for. We can approach future migrations with a lot less trepidation – given the accuracy and speed of Movebot, but especially because of their support team.

Our experience with it across various platforms, including SharePoint, Egnyte, on-prem file servers migrating to SharePoint, and O365 tenant to tenant migrations has been exceptionally positive. Their support team is responsive, offering assistance via and Discord, which was great in a pinch.

We needed a tool for moving large data sets with detailed enough logging to give us confidence in the successful move of millions of files and folders. Previous tools we used choked on large data sets (>1TB or > 1 Million files) or the logging was too simplistic for us know find errors or have confidence in deleting the source data set at the end of the migration. Movebot solved this for us.
I tried several competitors, and there was always something: lack of human contact, price, quality, speed, etc. I started looking around and ended up meeting with the VP of Sales for Movebot, he jumped on a call, and we went over the product, capability, and next steps and WOW. I have been using Movebot for a while now, and to be honest, there is no one out there doing the job the way they do.

Fantastic experience... We were able to do a file migration for a high-priority / high-touch client and move them to Azure AD from their on-prem environment in approximately 48 hours. The scanning and the data move itself really felt seamless. Thank you so much for the tool and to your incredible team!
