Welcome to the OneDrive for Business to Google Drive migration guide. This guide contains all the steps needed for your migration. Other useful resources and information are also linked or included.  

In OneDrive to Google Drive migrations, OneNote files will be created as a folder containing .onetoc2 and .one files. This is expected behavior.

First migration?

We’ve created a guide on scoping, planning, and managing the migration process for your use. If this is your first migration, we recommend reading this guide carefully.

MigrationWiz

MigrationWiz is a migration tool, not a syncing tool. If changes are made at the source after migration, they will not sync to the destination, nor will changes made at the destination sync to the source. We do not have “live” monitoring of changes (as with a sync agent) and we cannot handle scenarios such as conflict resolution without user interaction.

MigrationWiz supports the capability to share migration projects across a Workgroup. When the Project Sharing feature is turned on, all Agents besides those who are Inactive can view all migrations projects. 

Due to limitations on connections allowed by GoDaddy, we do not support migrating to or from GoDaddy using this migration type. 

We are not able to support migrations with two-factor or multifactor authentication. 

Prepare the Source OneDrive Environment

1. Create a OneDrive for Business user account that will be used for the migration and give it main global administrator privileges or use the existing global administrator account that was set up at the time the Microsoft 365 tenant was created. We highly recommend that you use an administrator account that isn’t one of the users being migrated. Otherwise, it can cause issues with missing shared permissions.
2. Export the list of OneDrive for Business user accounts to a CSV file. This can be used when adding users on the Destination, and when adding users into your MigrationWiz project dashboard.
3. Set up the app-based authentication in the Microsoft 365 tenant. For specific instructions, see Sharepoint App-based Authentication.
4. Unlock the OneDrive source account and manually add migrationwiz@domainname.onmicrosoft.com as a site collection admin to the OneDrive account.

Prepare the Destination Google Drive Environment

Prerequisites

• Subscription to Google Cloud Platform

• Google Super Administrator account

• Ability to set up a service account on the G Suite tenant

• Service account must be set up before the MigrationWiz project is created

Create a Google Project

1. Go to the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Console and sign in as a super administrator. Choose one of the options below:

   • If you haven't used the Google Cloud Platform Console before, agree to the Terms of Service and click Create Project.

   • If you have used Google Cloud Platform Console before, at the top of the screen next to your most recent project name, click Down to open your projects list. Then, click New Project.

2. Enter a project name and click Create.

If you are not able to create a project here, it may be that the ability to create projects has been disabled for your tenant. To check this, navigate to the Google Admin Center and click on Apps > Additional Google Services and select the Google Cloud Platform. Once there, you should see a setting that can be toggled in order to allow users to create projects.

Enable APIs for Service Account

1. From the Google Cloud Platform Console, click Menu > APIs & Services > Library.

2. Enable the following APIs by selecting the specific API and clicking Enable.
   Repeat for each API listed below:

   • Google Drive API

   • Admin SDK

Make sure that the respective services are enabled within the Google tenant. You can control services for your users using the instructions on this page: Control who can access G Suite and Google Services.

Create Customer Tenant Service Account

1. From the Google Cloud Platform Console, click Menu > IAM & Admin > Service accounts.

2. Click Create Service Account and enter a name.

3. Click Create.

4. Assign the role of Owner to the new Service Account by selecting Owner from the Role drop down menu.

5. Click Done.

6. You will now be returned to the "Service Accounts" page. 
7. On ‘Service accounts' page, click vertical ellipsis under 'Actions’ column for the service account created above.

8. Click + Add Key.

9. Click Create New Key.

10. Make sure that JSON is selected as "Key Type."

11. Click Create.

12. Click Close.

    • Make sure that you download the key as a JSON file and make a note of the name and location of the file. This JSON file will be used when setting up the migration endpoint in the Mailbox Migration project.

    • The JSON file must contain information in the following fields: “type”, “private key”, and “client email”. If these mandatory fields are empty the file upload during endpoint creation will fail.

Setting the Scopes for the Migration

From the Google Cloud Platform Console:

1. 1. Click Menu.
   2. Click IAM & Admin.
   3. Click Service Accounts.
   4. Find the service account that was set up in Step 3: Create Customer Tenant Account.
   5. Find the Unique ID field for that service account by clicking the Column Display Options button in the right upper corner above Actions and copy the ID number. This is the Client ID number that will be used in a later step.
      
      • This field often needs to be added to the view. Click on the Column display options button and add a checkmark to Unique ID, then click OK.
      • This Client ID should be considered similar to Administrator account passwords and handled securely.
   6. You will now have one of two options, depending on if the Google UI has been updated in your tenant.

   Old Google Tenant:

   1. Go to the G Suite admin page at admin.google.com
   2. Click on Security.
   3. Click on Advanced Settings.
   4. Click Manage API Client Access.

   OR If your account shows the latest UI updates from Google, as shown below:

   1. Go to the G Suite admin page at admin.google.com.
   2. Click on Security > Access and Data Controls > API Controls
   3. Under ‘Domain-wide delegation’, click Manage domain-wide delegation.
   4. On the Manage domain-wide delegation page, click Add new.

    Once these steps are complete:

   1. In the Client ID field, paste the Unique ID copied above.
   2. In the OAuth scopes (comma-delimited) field, paste all scopes listed below:
      
      1. For destination endpoint (must include read-write scopes):
         https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.group, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.group.readonly, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user.readonly, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly,
         https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive
   3. Click Authorize.

    You should now see your specific Unique ID and the associate scopes listed.

7. If there is at least one unassigned User Migration Bundle license available for each selected user, click Confirm.

MigrationWiz Steps

Create a Document Project

1. Log in to MigrationWiz.
2. Click the Go to My Projects button.
3. Click the Create Project button.
4. Select the Document project type. 
5. Click Next Step.
6. Enter a Project name and select a Customer.
7. Click Next Step.
8. Select endpoints or follow the steps below to create new endpoints. 

Endpoints

Endpoints are now created through MigrationWiz, rather than through MSPComplete. The steps for this section outline how to create the endpoints in MigrationWiz.

If you are selecting an existing endpoint, keep in mind that only ten endpoints will show in the drop-down. If you have more than ten, you may need to search. Endpoint search is case and character specific. For example, Cust0mer will not show up if the search is customer. We recommend keeping a list of endpoints you have created, along with any unique spellings or capitalization you may have used.

You may either use existing endpoints, or create new ones.

To create a new source endpoint:

1. Click Endpoints.
2. Click Add Endpoint.
3. Select OneDrive for Business. 
4. Leave the Provide Credentials option selected.
5. Click Add Endpoint.

To create a new destination endpoint:

1. Click Endpoints.
2. Click Add Endpoint.
3. Select Google Drive (Own Service Account)

4. Click Select File > Navigate to and select the JSON file that contains the Google Service Account key that was saved during the service account setup process.

5. Enter the Google admin account email address and domain name in the appropriate fields. Please note that this admin email should match the end user domain.

6. Click Add Endpoint. 

Add Users

Add the user accounts that will be migrated to the project. MigrationWiz allows you to bulk import users into the system. (Note: For OneDrive endpoints, the email address must match the current User Principal Name of the user in the tenant)

You may use Bulk Add, Quick Add, or add the accounts to the MSPComplete customer. 

Bulk Add

To import one or more accounts:

1. Sign in to your MigrationWiz account.
2. Select the Project for which you want to perform the bulk import.
3. Click Add.
4. Click Bulk Add.
5. Follow the instructions on the page.

Quick Add

This option allows you to add items o​ne at a time. You need to enter an email address, login name, and password for each user if you didn't enter administrative credentials when setting up the project. You only have to provide an email address if you entered administrative credentials when setting up the project.

Add Advanced Options

Under Support/Support options:

• InitializationTimeout=8. This will increase the timeout initialization timeout window to 8 hours. There are no spaces on either side of the "=" sign, and the entries are case-sensitive, so pay special attention to the capital letters in the commands above.  

• ShouldConvertToDestinationFormat=1. MigrationWiz will convert the Microsoft file types (".doc", ".docx", ".ppt", ".pptx", ".xls", ".xlsx") into Google file types (Google docs, Google sheets, Google slides), where possible. The file conversions does not happen by default.

Run Verify Credentials

1. ​Sign in to your MigrationWiz account​.
2. Open the Project containing items you wish to validate​.
3. Select the items you wish to validate.
4. Click the Start button in your dashboard.
5. Select Verify Credentials from the drop-down list.

Once complete, the results of the verification will be shown in the Status section.​ 

To lock (set to ReadOnly) the OneDrive items prior to migration: 

1. Make sure all OneDrive line items are not locked.

2. Run Verify Credentials pass for all OneDrive line items. This will add the provided credentials as a site collection administrator for these items.

3. You can now lock all the OneDrive line items.

4. Run a full migration pass.

Notify Users

Notify users that a migration is occurring. Send email to all users telling them the time and date of the migration. During this time, they should not modify any documents in their Source OneDrive accounts, because any modifications will not be included in the migration.

Run Migration

For small migrations, we suggest skipping the pre-stage pass and simply performing the full migration. However, for large migrations with more than five hundred users, we do recommend the pre-stage migration.

Pre-Stage pass

1. Select the users you wish to migrate.
2. Click the Start button from the top.
3. Select Pre-Stage Migration.
4. Under the Migration Scheduling section, from the drop-down list, select 90 days ago.
5. Click Start Migration.

Full pass

1. Select the users.
2. Click the Start button from the top.
3. Select Full Migration.
4. Click Start Migration.

Run Retry Errors

Look through the user list and click any red "failed migration" errors. Review the information and act accordingly.

If problems persist, contact Support.

Request Statistics

Click the pie chart icon in the MigrationWiz dashboard to receive an email containing all the project migration statistics.

Post Migration

To prevent users from inadvertently logging in and using their OneDrive for Business accounts, decommission the OneDrive for Business user accounts, or change their passwords.
