Overview of migration experience for Staff migrating in March. Should have ToC at the top of the page linking to sections.

If you have non-UConn data in your Google account, please move it to a personal account as soon as possible.

\uD83D\uDCD8 The Migration Process

  1. During the week of February 5th, a folder named "GDrive" will appear in your OneDrive while ITS prepares to migrate your data. Do not interact with this folder until ITS has notified you the migration is complete.

  2. Once we create this folder, ITS will migrate an initial copy of data from Google to Microsoft. Our migration tool takes a copy of the data in Google, creates a new Microsoft-compatible version, and saves the new version in your Microsoft account; no data will be deleted from Google during the migration.

    After this initial migration test, we will send you a list of any files our tool cannot migrate, and why they cannot be moved. This may happen for one of two reasons:

    1. The file is larger than 15 GB, in which case you will need to download the file from Google and re-upload it to Microsoft

    2. The file path is longer than 400 characters, in which case you can shorten the folder/file name(s) and ITS will migrate the data to Microsoft in the next migration sweep.

  3. On March 4, we will begin migrating a final copy of the data from your Google Drive into the GDrive folder in your OneDrive. We will notify you when the final migration is complete, and it is safe to access the files in your GDrive folder in OneDrive. We will also notify you of any files we were unable to move automatically.

    Don’t use Google…. and quota stuff

    You can still access Google Workspace until April 30th. This is really so you can verify that everything transferred correctly.

    Talk about links and shares?? We have an article that covers it.

  4. On April 30th, your account will be deleted from Google.

If you need to collaborate with other organizations that use Google and do not have a personal account you would like to use, you will be able to register for a new Google Workspace account using your UConn email address after April 30th.
