How to Migrate From Egnyte to Google Drive(Google Workspace)

2. The Critical Challenges of Migrating From Egnyte to Google Drive 

Migrating data between two different platforms is a challenging job that will certainly put you under a lot of stress. In terms of how data is displayed at first glance, Egnyte and Google Drive look similar. For instance, Egnyte administrator and power user accounts will have Personal (user folder) and Shared folders, whereas a Google Drive business account will have My Drive and Shared Drive.

Though these two platforms look similar, they are inherently different in how they organize the data and how it allows to create and work on files collaboratively.

Your source cloud Egnyte can store different file formats that Google Drive might not support. How you migrate all file types with versions, comments, and timestamps without losing any single file or folder is critical for your business.
