Introduction

To migrate your Box Business or Box Enterprise to Google Workspace, set up two types of migration sync pairs:

1. Migrate your company-wide shared Box folder to Google Shared Drives.
2. Migrate all Box user accounts to matching Google Workspace accounts. All sharing metadata will migrate too.

Your setup will look like this:

Box personal to Google Drive migration:
Box (alice@company.com) -> Google Drive (alice@company.com) 
Box (bob@company.com)   -> Google Drive (bob@company.com) 

    ...

Box Team Folders to Google Shared Drives:
Box (admin)/Team Folders/HR -> Google Drive (admin)/Shared Drives/HR 
Box (admin)/Team Folders/Videos -> Google Drive (admin)/Shared Drives/Videos
    ...

Google Workspace preparation:

Migrate your company-wide shared Box folder to Google Shared Drives.

To migrate your company-wide shared Box folder, follow the instructions here: https://support.cloudhq.net/how-to-migrate-all-files-from-box-to-google-drive-single-user/
For example, if you have a Box Team Folder called HR, do this:
– Create a Google Shared Drive called HR.
– Create a sync pair from the Box folder HR to the Google Shared Drive HR.

Migrate all your Box accounts to matching Google Workspace accounts

To migrate Box Business or Box Enterprise accounts to Google Workspace, create one-way migration sync pairs like this:

Box (bob@acme.com)   -> Google Drive (bob@acme.com)
Box (alice@acme.com) -> Google Drive (alice@acme.com)
...

This creates a one-way sync from each Box account to the matching Google Drive account. Your data will migrate and stay in sync for an easy cutover.

cloudHQ will also copy all sharing settings and permissions from Box to Google Drive.

Follow these steps to set up the migration sync pairs.

• Click the Box icon:
  
• Select the users:
