Google Drive for
Work is a new premium offering for
businesses that includes unlimited storage, advanced audit reporting and new security controls
and features, such as encryption at rest.
If you're getting ready to move your company to Drive, one of the
first things on your mind is how to migrate all your existing files with as little hassle as
possible. It's easy to migrate your files by uploading them directly to Drive or using the
Drive Sync client. But, what if you have files stored elsewhere that you want to consolidate?
Or what if you want to migrate multiple users at once? Many independent software vendors
(ISVs) have built solutions to help organizations migrate their files from different File Sync
and Share (FSS) solutions, local hard drives and other data sources. Here are some of the
options available for you to use:
