High-Speed ShareFile to Google Drive Migration for Enterprise

Transferring large volumes of data from ShareFile to Google Workspace, especially to Google Drive and Shared Drives, can prove tricky, particularly for enterprise-level IT departments with thousands of users and millions of files to migrate. With data sets often measured in terabytes (TB) or even petabytes (PB), high-speed, efficient migration is necessary to avoid downtime while ensuring business continuity.

Our dedicated migration solution, CloudFuze X-Change, streamlines data transfer and assures that vital metadata, such as permissions, version history, timestamps, and file organization are properly retained, providing organizations with a risk-free migration experience.

Let us outline the end-to-end high-speed ShareFile to Google Drive migration process irrespective of data volume or complexity.

ShareFile to Google Workspace Migration Challenges

Migration from ShareFile to Google Workspace comes with some challenges due to file and folder limitations, file size, and architectural differences between the two. CloudFuze not only streamlines the migration but also solves these challenges so that all data (files/folders) is migrated accurately.

File and Folder Limitations

During any migration from ShareFile to Google Drive, naming rules for files and character limits require a strategic approach. ShareFile (formerly Citrix ShareFile) limits special characters such as /, \, “, and many more, whereas Google Drive does not limit such characters. This can call for renaming particular files prior to migration.

As opposed to ShareFile that doesn’t support duplicate file names within a directory, Google Drive does—CloudFuze efficiently handles duplicates to provide seamless migration. ShareFile also does not support file names that have leading/trailing spaces or no extensions.

Our migration tool identifies and resolves these problems, providing quick and precise data migration.

File Size & Folder Depth Restrictions

Citrix ShareFile file size restrictions differ according to plan—10 GB for the Standard plan and 100 GB for Advanced and Premium plans—while Google Drive supports files of up to 5 TB, making it perfect for big data migrations. CloudFuze transfers large files with ease and circumvents Google Drive’s 750 GB per day upload limit, making the transfer fast and efficient.

ShareFile also has a 260-character file path limitation, which can make migrations with very deeply nested folders difficult. Google Drive, on the other hand, has a more lenient folder structure.

CloudFuze restructures long file paths automatically and bypasses these restrictions, providing complete compatibility and high-speed data transfer experience.

Complex Folder Structures

Nested folder structures must be handled carefully to preserve hierarchy and folder integrity throughout the transfer. CloudFuze guarantees even nested folders are transferred correctly, with the original structure intact without loss of data. And it simplifies permissions and sharing options to replicate in the destination environment perfectly.

Data Integrity

Data integrity is ensured by preventing loss of data, keeping metadata (such as creation dates/last modified dates), and keeping document versions intact during the migration process. CloudFuze guarantees that each file reaches its destination in the same state it was in, with all original information and history preserved.

Key Preparations for Citrix ShareFile to Google Drive

Before proceeding with the Citrix ShareFile migration, we analyze the following:

• The overall size of files and folders for migration
• The total number of user accounts to be migrated
• The specific features to preserve, such as permissions
• The required number of delta syncs
• The type of post-migration integration needed
