2. Step 2: Add Box Business or Box Enterprise Account
You need to add and authorize your company’s Box account to
CloudFuze in order to facilitate migration.
All you need to do is click on the Box logo in the business clouds
list and enter the Box admin login credentials.
Step 3: Enter Box Admin Login Credentials
3. Enter the Box’s super admin login details and click on the
Authorize button.
Step 4: Review Account Permissions and Provide Access
The following is the list of all permissions CloudFuze needs in
order to map and migrate content.
Click on the Grant Access to Box button to complete the cloud
addition process.
4. Step 5: Now, Add Shared Drives Account
Click on the Shared Drives logo in the business clouds list. Since
this is Box to Google Shared Drives migration, we need to click
on the Shared Drives logo.
If it is a Box to Google Drive migration, G Suite logo must be
clicked.
Step 6: Add and Authorize Google Account
5. Enter your Google Workspace account login details and
authorize it the same way we authorized the Box account earlier.
Step 7: Verify Whether Clouds Added
Go to the Clouds section by clicking on the Clouds logo. Then,
check the Manage Clouds tab. You should be able to see both
Box and Google Shared Drive accounts being added there.
Step 8: Start the Migration

the left.
Step 9: Select Source and Destination Accounts
Choose Box as the source account and Shared Drives as the
destination account.

A CSV file needs to be created and uploaded that has the list of
all users in both Box and Google Shared Drive accounts.
7. This step can be confusing for first-time users of CloudFuze.
Keep in mind that CloudFuze has a dedicated migration team
that assists IT admins during every step of the migration.

Download in the CSV format and then upload again to
CloudFuze. The CSV file then populates the list of users for
migration.
8. Step 12: Select Users to Migrate Data
Click on the users that you want to migrate from Box to Google
Shared Drive accounts. There is no upper limit on how many
users can be migrated. However, for this demo purpose, we
migrated one Box user to Google Shared Drives.

job a name. You can enter additional email addresses for
notifications.
Besides data, you can also migrate Shared Links, External
