Migrate Box to Google Drive — Transfer Files and Folders with RcloneView
Box has served you well, but Google Workspace makes more sense now. Transfer everything — personal files, shared folders, and department archives — to Google Drive without losing a single file.
Box is popular in enterprise environments, but many organizations consolidate into Google Workspace for tighter integration with Gmail, Calendar, and Docs. The migration needs to preserve folder structures, handle large datasets, and verify completeness. RcloneView connects to both Box and Google Drive natively.

Migration Process
1) Map folder structure
| Box | Google Drive |

| Personal folders | My Drive |
| Shared folders | Shared Drive |
| Department archives | Shared Drive folders |
2) Transfer folder by folder
3) Schedule large transfers off-peak
4) Verify completeness
Box-Specific Considerations
- Box file version history doesn't transfer — only the current version migrates
- Box Notes are proprietary format — export them before migration
- Shared links won't carry over — update bookmarks post-migration
- Large enterprises: create batch jobs per department for manageable chunks
Getting Started
- Download RcloneView from rcloneview.com.
- Add Box and Google Drive remotes.
- Transfer in batches with verification.
- Keep Box active during transition.
Clean migration, complete verification.
