Google Workspace to Google Workspace Migration Guide for IT Admins

Introduction

CloudFuze simplifies the migration from one Google Workspace tenant to another and secures it with enterprise-class capabilities built for accuracy and control. Our solution maintains folder hierarchies, user permissions (root, subfolder, file-level), and even embedded links—so nothing gets lost during transit. From Gmail threads and labels to Google Drive, Shared Drives, contacts and calendars, everything gets migrated with complete fidelity.

IT admins can map and visualize folder paths, migrate individual file versions, and administer external shares automatically. We preserve rich metadata such as timestamps and version history while adapting to long folder path restrictions and eliminating redundant email notifications.

Designed for large-scale enterprises, CloudFuze accommodates both one-time and delta migrations with real-time tracking dashboards and expert-driven execution. Whether you’re moving terabytes or petabytes of data, our solution streamlines tenant-to-tenant Google Workspace migration for IT administrators and enterprises—keeping your data in place, your users uninterrupted, and your business completely compliant every step of the way.

Why Migrate Google Workspace to Google Workspace?

Organizations migrate between Google Workspace accounts because of:

• Mergers and acquisitions
• Rebranding or domain name changes
• Divestitures or consolidations of business units
• Internal restructuring

Whatever the reason, CloudFuze provides a safe, compliant, and scalable migration with zero data loss.

Most Common Google Workspace to Google Workspace Migration Challenges

• User mapping errors can result in data loss or misplaced files
• File/folder permissions loss leads to post-migration access issues
• Email structure disruption (labels, threads, metadata) causes user confusion
• Calendar events don’t sync, particularly recurring ones
• No delta migration causes data gaps and out-of-date files
• Compliance risk during transfer without security controls

CloudFuze solves these common Google Workspace tenant migration challenges with advanced user mapping, permission preservation, and unmatched delta migration support. Our fastest migration platform ensures complete data fidelity, security, and continuity—eliminating potential risks and maximizing efficiency for IT teams.

How CloudFuze Makes Google Workspace Migration Smooth

Our Google Workspace tenant migration platform is built for IT teams and enterprise-level transfer. Here’s how we help:

1. Planning and Pre-Migration Analysis

We assist you in auditing the source and target environments, determining data volume, number of users, and dependencies.

2. Secure Authentication and User Mapping

CloudFuze provides secure authentication between both Google Workspace tenants and streamlines user mapping via CSV import or auto-mapping.

3. Full-Fidelity Data Migration

CloudFuze’s platform mirrors folder structure, file hierarchy, sharing permissions, email labels, and metadata to provide 100% data accuracy.

4. Granular Control Over What to Migrate

Select to transfer everything or specific users, files, emails, calendars, contacts, and more.

5. Shared Drive and My Drive Support

Migrate Shared Drives with permissions, as well as individual user drives.

6. Delta Migration

Run delta migrations to capture changes made after the initial transfer.

7. Post-Migration Validation

Our team verifies data integrity, ensures email and Drive access, and checks everything is functioning as anticipated.

Step 1: Log in to CloudFuze Account

First, log in to your CloudFuze account. If you’re new to the platform, our migration team will help you set up a trial to test Google Drive to Google Drive transfer. For enterprise migrations we recommend requesting a custom trial environment for best performance.

Step 2: Add the Source Google Drive Account

Go to the list of business cloud providers and click on the Google Drive logo.

Enter the admin credentials of your source Google Drive tenant and authorize. Make sure you’re using the business version of Google Drive.

Step 3: Add the Destination Google Drive Account

Repeat the same process to add the destination Google Drive tenant by clicking on the Google Drive icon again.

Enter the destination admin credentials and authorize.

Step 4: Verify Cloud Connections

Click on the Clouds tab on the left and confirm that both your source and destination Google Drive accounts are added successfully. You should see them listed under Manage Clouds.

Step 5: Initiate Team Migration

Select Team Migration from the CloudFuze dashboard. This feature allows you to migrate users, data and settings from the source Google Drive to the destination tenant.

Step 6: Choose Source and Destination Clouds

Set the source cloud as your original Google Drive tenant and the destination cloud as your target tenant.

Step 7: Map Users

Use CloudFuze’s Auto-Map feature to automatically match users between the two domains based on email aliases.

If Auto-Map is not applicable for your case, you can opt for manual user mapping or upload a CSV file with user mapping paths.

Step 8: Map User Permissions

In the Permission Mapping step, CloudFuze will display source and destination users to review and control how file and folder access is maintained during the migration. Accurate permission mapping ensures the shared content retains its intended access levels post-migration.

Once mappings are reviewed and finalized, click Next.

Step 9: Configure Migration Settings

Name your project and select options like migrate file versions, preserve timestamps, external shares and permissions as per your requirements. Then click Next.

Step 10: Start the Migration

Preview all the configurations and mappings. Once confirmed, click on Start Migration to begin transferring files from source Google Drive to destination.

Step 11: Monitor Migration Progress

CloudFuze will show real-time status for each user and dataset—In Progress, Completed —along with detailed logs.

Step 12: Download the Migration Report

Once migration is complete, download the report to get a full audit trail of all migrated data.
