Why Migrating Files to Google Drive is a Smart Move
by Linkgard
Companies that have moved to Google Apps have found that much of the phases of their production is done by working in a virtual workplace and makes collaboration between employees easy. Google Apps helps companies keep their business operations in one location giving employees an easy and secure way to share and use the files.
Once the move to Google Apps is complete, it is time for the file server migration to Google Drive. You can do this manually, uploading the files separately to each employee. Setting the permissions for each employee on an individual basis is time consuming not to mention can be error prone.
An easier way to move the immense amount of data is by taking advantage of the different services that will enable businesses to migrate file server to Google Docs while retaining the permissions their employees have on the files. This will let a business replicate their file server on Google Drive with little human effort.
With Google Drive migration, files can be moved from a SAN to Google drive where the files can be shared based on permission set by the IT department. Google Drive lets the administrator control the data from their current account.
With this type of migration, the service will determine who owns each file and will move that file to the owner. With this even distribution, everyone stays within the limits of the storage allowance. By having all files and documents on Google drive teams can work on projects in real time and having that ability to share one file among employees from anywhere in the world as long as they have access to the internet.
