In this blog post, we have provided insights on how UK firms can transfer files to Google Drive from Box. We have discussed NCSC cloud principles and how our tools adhere to them.
Key Takeaways:
1. Select a Migration Provider Who Ensures UK Compliance

At CloudFuze, we support SMBs and large UK enterprises in carrying out complex Box-to-Google Drive migrations with accuracy. With 12+ years of experience, our migration teams have extensive expertise in helping you plan your migration project successfully.
2. Perform Pre-migration Analysis
It is necessary to conduct a comprehensive pre-assessment to comprehend the collaboration structure in Google Drive, Google Shared Drives, and other apps. Based on the analysis, you can choose the number of users and the Box data to migrate, along with features, e.g., versions, shared links, etc., that are essential in the new Google Drive environment.
During pre-migration analysis, divide the users and data with utmost care and focus. For example, when migrating from Box to Google Shared Drive, ensure you transfer all required files and folders into the appropriate Shared Drive for the right teams. Through this, businesses can replicate the Box environment in the new Google Drive environment.
3. Have UK-Specific Security and Compliance Measures in Place
An integral part of performing Box to Google Drive migrations in the UK is adhering to the country’s data protection and compliance regulations, including the UK GDPR. Ensure the chosen migration vendor complies with UK GDPR and other security regulations.

4. Plan the Migration in Phases
Performing the Box to Google Drive migration in phases helps your business avoid the risk of API throttling by using the API calls in a controlled way for each migration batch. You can ensure zero downtime during the one-time and delta migrations during your migration journey with CloudFuze.
5. Post-migration Optimization
Migration reports with a ‘completed’ status do not indicate a successful transfer. You have to verify data in Google Drive through a thorough analysis. Have a post-migration checklist and ensure full replication in the new Google Drive environment. Our team at CloudFuze provides customers with both pre-migration and post-migration assistance throughout the transition phase.
