In order to migrate all data with metadata to Google Drive, using a professional migration tool (with proven success) is a must. Make sure the Google Drive migration tool you choose can preserve all metadata types, including:
Sharing permissions – Permissions help Gemini understand the sharing and access levels between internal and external users and provide insights accordingly. Make sure the migration tool you choose can preserve sharing permissions of root as well as inner folders and files.
File versions – Versions help Gemini understand the historical context of each document and can provide suggestions and insights based on previous and current versions. The migration tool you shortlist must be able to preserve all versions.
Timestamps – Gemini AI can analyze timestamps of folders and files and provide users with timeline-based suggestions and insights. Use a migration tool that can help you preserve original as well as modified timestamps during migration.
Hyperlinks – By navigating through embedded links, Gemini can better understand cross-document context and provide deeper insights. The migration tool you plan to use must support correction of hyperlinks at scale.
