Migrate files from local file servers or cloud storage solutions.

If your organisation is still managing files from an on-premise server, you’re missing out! We believe every organisation can improve productivity and reduce costs by harnessing the power of the cloud.

Migrate Files to Google Drive

As Google Cloud Partners, we specialise in the migration of files from on-premise servers and current cloud storage services (e.g. Dropbox) to Google Drive.

We can set-up and configure Google Shared Drives and Google My Drive (for individual users). By migrating to Google Drive, you’ll save on hardware and networking costs and, importantly, enable your team to operate from any location and device.

  • We will implement best practice settings for the set-up of the Shared Drives – including security, sharing and permissions settings.
  • Migrate data securely from your on-premise server to Google Drive.
  • We will provide advice on best practices for file naming and folder structure to ensure your Drive account can be used productively (e.g. find files quickly via cloud search!).
  • Provide remote login support to ensure each team member (where required) can operate their Drive account efficiently. (In-person training would be via quotation.)

If you’re organisation is on Google Workspace, it makes sense to move your files to Google Drive (part of Google Workspace).

Google Cloud Partner - JD Stride
Key features of our file migration service include:
  • Preserve user permissions

We can migrate your content to Google Drive, while preserving user and group permissions. We automatically map permissions, ownership, sharing and metadata to Google Drive. 

Permissions can be applied after migration, where appropriate.

  • Pre-migration planning

We ensure data integrity with pre-migration data mapping. We can analyse permissions based on file age, type, last modified, size, and owner.

  • API-based cloud data transfer

All file migrations are actively monitored with real-time reporting, visualisation, and event logging.

  • Smooth transition. No interruptions.
Your team can continue to work on their current system and the new system in order to ensure a smooth transition. A final ‘delta sync’ is run to draw across any remaining files or new versions once the team commits to using Google Drive.
