Deciding to move your data to Google Drive? See below on how to use Movebot to move your data.
1. Navigate to admin.movebot.io and select Create
2. Select your Source provider to be where you are moving your data from. See here how to configure any of our supported storage.
3. Select your Destination cloud provider from the dropdown provided, in this case, it would be Google Drive. You will need to click Link Storage and log in with your Google Drive credentials. On completion you will get a pop-up, this is to allow Movebot access to your storage.
4. Select the folders you wish to migrate across, if nothing is selected it will migrate all folders. Select the location you wish to move the folders to, if nothing is selected they will be moved into the top level (root directory).
5. Configure settings
| Name | A name for the migration |
| Email Notifications | Get emailed when your migration is completed |
| Delta Enabled | Only move files that have been modified since the last migration |
| Scheduled | Select a time to run the migration, or set a daily scheduled migration |
| Worker Nodes | Improve performance by adding extra Movebots to process your data |
Advanced Options - We recommend leaving these as the default
| Filename Sanitization | Some providers such as OneDrive don't allow certain characters in file names, we will make amendments so that all your files make it across. |
| Doctype Conversion | Google file types such as .gdoc, .gsheet and .gslide aren't readable from other providers, we will automagically convert the files to .docx, .xlsx and .pptx during the migration. |
| Duplicate Name Santization |
When migrating from systems that allow duplicate file and folder names, we need to de-duplicate the names. Movebot will automatically add a duplicate prefix to the filename and ensure that we preserve all versions of that file.
|
| Worker Threads | We highly recommend not touching this unless you know what you are doing. This is set to the best for your cloud provider by default. |
6. Save and Kickoff - Leave the heavy lifting to Movebot, we will email you once your migration is done.
