Bulk upload Google drives into Migration Manager using a CSV file

Migration Manager lets you bulk upload your Google drives using a comma-separated values (CSV) file. You can create the CSV file using any text editor or an application like Excel. JSON files aren't supported.

Before you begin

• The number of sources listed in a single file must be less than 10,000.
• The uploaded values have up to 50 scans done on them simultaneously.
• The file contains a single column, and the column heading is optional.
• Enter personal drive source paths as [username]@[domainname]/[folder name] or [username]@[domainname].

Tip

Download a list of users from your organization's Google account to help construct your CSV file. Learn more: Download a list of users.

Formatting your CSV file

The formatting for personal drives and shared drives is slightly different.

1. Start Excel.

2. Enter one source per row. The column heading is optional. Enter your source in one of the following ways:

   For personal drives:

   [username]@[domainname]/[folder name] or [username]@[domainname]

   For shared drives:

   • /[shared drive name]

   The leading slash for a shared drive and the slash separating a personal drive from a subfolder are source-path separators. They aren't part of the drive's display name. For restrictions on names, see the Google migration FAQ.

3. Save the file as a UTF-8 encoded, comma-delimited (.csv) file.

Uploading your file

1. Connect to Google.
2. On the Drives tab, select Add Drives, and then select Multiple specific Drives.
3. Upload your CSV file to add the source paths.
4. Scan and assess the added drives, and then continue to Step 3: Copy to migrations.
