Migrations · Google Drive

Switch from Google Drive to InfiOrbit

Move shared drives into governed team folders — same collaboration, with residency, key custody and audit answers Google Workspace admins struggle to give.

Why switch

Move beyond Google Drive without losing context

Preserve the structures users rely on while adding visible security state, stronger governance, and content intelligence.

Team folders with real roles

MANAGER/EDITOR/VIEWER membership with sub-folder overrides and audited changes, instead of ad-hoc per-file ACL sprawl.

Your keys, your region

Tenants are region-pinned and can run under your own KMS key — revocation makes the data unreadable.

AI you can put in front of counsel

AI features are tenant-isolated, never train on your content, and carry a per-tenant kill switch and transparency report.

How the migration runs

Connect, preview, import — with a mandatory dry run

The Migration Center reads your Google Drive content directly. Nothing is written until you approve the dry-run manifest, and every imported file passes the malware quarantine gate before it is downloadable.

1. Connect the source

Add the source from the Migration Center with a scoped credential. Credentials are envelope-encrypted at rest and never shown again.

2. Review the dry-run manifest

A mandatory dry run lists everything in scope — folders, items and total bytes — before a single byte is written, so there are no surprises.

3. Run the gated import

The run recreates your folder structure and routes every file through the same malware quarantine gate as a first-party upload. Per-item errors are reported without aborting the migration.

Scope the work

Estimate the transfer window before discovery

Model the raw network window and the operational workstreams that should be represented in your migration plan.

Directional estimate for moving from Google Drive. Transfer time is raw payload time only and excludes provider throttling, retries, malware scanning, reconciliation, and cutover approvals.

Scope the source, map your target workspace, validate the dry run, and schedule cutover with clear acceptance criteria.
