Google Workspace Drives

Connecting to Google Workspace is fast to set up and fully supported in Movebot.

Introduction

Movebot uses the Google Drive API with delegate access, and we provide everything you need for quick authorization in Google Admin. Connecting to Google Workspace by delegate access provides Movebot access to user data and shared drives in the Google Workspace domain and full support for migrating Google Drive content.

To connect a personal Google Drive account see Google Drive (Personal)

Requirements

To connect Movebot to Google Workspace, you will need:

• A Google Workspace administrator account

• To be familiar with the Google Admin Centre

• To have access to the Shared Drives you wish to migrate

Configuration Steps

1. When configuring a new connection, select Google Workspace from the list of available connection types and give the connection a name

2. Enter your Google administrator account email address

3. Enter your domain (find this under "Manage domains" in Google Admin) .

4. Click "Create Service Account" - this will generate a Client ID

5. Use this Client ID when configuring domain-wide delegation in the Admin console, required to allow Movebot to access necessary data for migrations. Include the following OAuth scopes:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user.readonly, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user.security

For detailed instructions on how to set this up, see Delegating Domain Wide Authority

6. Test the connection
