Common examples of mappings

Below are common examples of mappings that you might use when migrating data from Google Workspace using Google Workspace Migrate.

In the following examples, the source domain is example.com and the target domain is solarmora.com.

Google Drive examples

Example 1: Migrate a user's My Drive content from a source to a target domain

Source GUser	Source GService	Target GUser	Target GService
[email protected]	GDrive	[email protected]	GDrive

 

Source GUser	Source GDrive	Target GUser	Target GDrive
[email protected]	GMyDrive	[email protected]	GMyDrive

 

Example 2: Migrate a user's My Drive folder from a source to a target domain

Source GUser	Source GFolder	Target GUser	Target GDrive
[email protected]	BDEz2zFb	[email protected]	GMyDrive

 

Example 3: Migrate a user's My Drive folder to a specific folder in the target domain

Source GUser	Source GFolder	Target GUser	Target GFolder	MapChildrenOnly
[email protected]	BDEz2zFb	user1@ solarmora.com	ADEz25zFa	TRUE

 

Example 4: Migrate orphaned items in Drive from the source account

In this example, you are migrating orphaned content (content that is unorganized or residing in folders that the user doesn't own) to a new folder on the target account called orphan_items. 

MapChildrenOnly is one word. Line breaks are for page formatting only. 

Source GUser	Source GDrive	Target GUser	Target GDrive	MapChildren Only	Target Sub Path
user1@ example.com	GOrphaned Content	user1@ solarmora.com	GMyDrive	TRUE	orphan_items

 

In this example, you are migrating orphaned items to the user's Drive account. If you aren't sure if the source user has orphaned items or not, follow this example.

Source GUser	Source GService	Target GUser	Target GService
[email protected]	GDrive	[email protected]	GDrive

Shared drive examples

Example 1: Migrate a shared drive to a target shared drive

In this example, Google Workspace Migrate creates the target shared drive in the migration process. After migration, the target shared drive has the same name as the source shared drive.

Source GUser	Source GSharedDrive	Target GUser	Target GDrive
[email protected]	0AG_zVnxU9	[email protected]	GSharedDrives

 

Example 2: Migrate a shared drive to a newly created target shared drive

In this example, Google Workspace Migrate creates the target shared drive in the migration process. After migration, the target shared drive has a different name than the source shared drive.

Source GUser	Source GSharedDrive	Target GUser	Target GDrive	Target Sub Path	MapChildren Only
[email protected]	0AG_zVnxU9	user1@ solarmora.com	GSharedDrives	Project	TRUE

 

Example 3: Migrate a shared drive to a target shared drive you already created

In this example, you manually create the target shared drive before the migration process.

Source GUser	Source GSharedDrive	Target GUser	Target GSharedDrive	MapChildrenOnly
user1@ example.com	BDEz2zFb	user1@ solarmora.com	ADEz25J3DzFa	TRUE

Google Groups example

Example: Migrate a group in Google Groups from the source to the target account

In this example, you are migrating the source group's data to the target group. You must also use an identity mapping. To migrate group members, specify the source and target groups' and users' email addresses in the identity mapping.

Source GGroup	Target GGroup
[email protected]	[email protected]
