Discovery Channel selected CloudFuze to migrate several thousand user accounts and terabytes of data from Box to Google Workspace. CloudFuze's migration platform is built for large, complex migrations and can handle Discovery Channel's requirements like migrating sharing permissions, metadata, and version histories. The migration involved discovery, planning, execution, and validation phases where CloudFuze configured jobs, conducted pre-migration checks, executed the migration, and worked with Discovery Channel to validate all content and permissions transferred correctly.

CloudFuze Helps Discovery Channel
Migrate from Box to Google Workspace

3. Discovery had several terabytes of data stored in their Box account that they
wanted to migrate to Google Workspace (Google Drive & Google Shared Drives).
The IT team of Discovery Channel quickly realized that it would take a lot of time to
migrate the data on their own and nearly impossible to configure file sharing
permissions manually.
Migration Challenges
Migrate several thousands of Box user accounts to Workspace
Migrate tens of TBs of data from Box to Google Drive & Google Shared Drives
Platform differences such as the restriction of special characters, file pathname
length, and maximum allowed individual file sizes
Migrating sharing permissions from Box to Google Workspace
Migrating Box-native features like Notes
Migrate other Box-specific features like version history, metadata, Shared Links,
External Shares, etc.

In this second phase of migration, we configured and set up migration jobs and tested
them for accuracy.
CloudFuze conducted a series of pre-migration checks before the start of migration to
ensure everything was intact. Following are the some of the pre-migration checks we
conducted.
Understand features to be added
Configure workspace properly
Validate users to be migrated
User provisioning script
Run test migration
Planning Phase
Execution Phase
Discovery’s involvement was not much needed in this phase other than participating in
discussions related to migration process.
The CloudFuze team would send daily reports on the status of migration. In addition to
that, the team was also available for daily status calls to provide in-depth updates on
the migration.
Discovery was entitled to a daily sync meeting with the migration team to get updates
on the migration.
Any issues or problems that arise during the migration were addressed on a priority
basis. The migration team monitored the migration round the clock and anticipated
most problems in advance. At times, Discovery’s involvement was needed for providing

During this last phase of the migration, our team worked closely with the Discovery
team for any data reconciliation, questions or concerns by the end users, issues faced
by IT admins, or any queries on the files/folders migrated. Once Discovery confirmed
that all the files and folders are successfully migrated, CloudFuze then marked the
project as completed.
During this phase, Discovery’s IT team spends time analyzing and reviewing the
migrated content. The internal IT team and the end-users were needed to review the
newly migrated content check whether all files, folders, permissions, etc. are
transferred properly.
Validation Phase
