The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/workspacemigrate\/answer\/9222862?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Workspace Migrate<\/a><\/strong> resolves the scoped view entry if a mail folder is renamed. To manage a lot of data to scan, use the scoped view. The scoped view will divide the data into chunks, allowing you to scan in phases. The connection needs to be verified and it is done by checking the connection tree.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Steps to create a scoped view<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Go to Google Migrate Platform.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Click the Connections.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Hit the scoped Views.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Click Add.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Enter a name for your scoped view.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Hit Upload CSV File\/ drag a file to the box.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Click Create.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In Google Workspace you can migrate data from<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Box<\/li>\n<li>Network File System (NFS)<\/li>\n<li>citrix sharefile<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I hope you learn about how to Migrate Data in Google Workspace using migration file share.<\/p>\n<p>Navohosting is one of the best resellers of Google Workspace and we offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudflare.com\/learning\/dns\/glossary\/what-is-a-domain-name\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">domain<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techtarget.com\/whatis\/definition\/hosting-Web-site-hosting-Web-hosting-and-Webhosting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hosting<\/a> services to our clients all over India.
