Migrate your organization's content from Box to Google Drive with Data Relocate by transferring large volumes of files and folders securely while maintaining user permissions, ownership, file versions, sharing settings, and collaboration metadata.
Box to Google Drive needs more than file copy — permissions, collaboration data, and daily changes must stay intact through cutover.
Data Relocate supports a full one-time migration plus delta syncs so teams keep working until go-live.
One-Time Migration
The initial full copy to Google Drive includes:
- File and folder structure
- Version history
- Root folder permissions
- Root file permissions
- Inner folder permissions
- Inner file permissions
- Hyperlinks
- Shared links
- Comments
- Box Notes
- External permissions
Users get a faithful Box replica in Google Drive before you schedule delta runs.
Delta Migration
After the baseline, delta syncs move only what changed:
- Newly created files and folders
- Updated file versions
- Permission changes
- New shared links
- Updated hyperlinks
- New comments
- Modified Box Notes
- External permission updates
Repeat delta runs to shrink the cutover window.
