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.
The Critical Challenges
of Migrating From Egnyte to Google Drive

• Migrating data from Egnyte to Google Drive is complex and requires
the assistance of a viable solution provider who has expertise on
both the clouds and has handled numerous complex Egnyte to Google
Drive data migrations in the past.
• Trying to migrate data from either on-premises or one cloud storage
platform to another without an appropriate tool that automates the
entire migration process might result in data losses that businesses
can’t admit. Hence, organizations considering an Egnyte to Google
Drive migration should identify the right data migration tool that
fits your business needs.

Choosing the Right Tool for Your Egnyte
to Google Drive Migration Needs

• The CloudFuze platform can map the users automatically based on their respective email ids. Sometimes
there could be a change in the email ids in the destination cloud. The reasons could be:
• An employee left the organization, and the data should be migrated to a different person to save it.
• Employees changed their email ids in the destination cloud.
• Besides, you might also want to change the path of your folders and files in some cases.
CloudFuze migration tool does all this through CSV mapping as per your changing demands.
