How to create a sharding user list
To migrate many files (more than 400,000) to Google Drive from the file shares, create the sharding list. It is a user list in a CSV file. Use the sharding list to migrate the data to multiple shared devices. If you are migrating fewer than 400,000 files to an individual user’s drive account skip this account.
Create a scoped view.
The scoped view defines the source data accessed for a scan. The scoped view entries work even if the source data is changed. The Google Workspace Migrate 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.
Steps to create a scoped view
- Go to Google Migrate Platform.
- Click the Connections.
- Hit the scoped Views.
- Click Add.
- Enter a name for your scoped view.
