Why Choose
Large file uploads aren't handled as a single monolithic transfer. The file gets split into 40 MB chunks, & each chunk is processed independently. It's a simple architectural change, but it has a direct effect on both throughput & fault tolerance.
What you gain from it:
Chunks are processed in parallel instead of one after another, so total job time drops significantly compared to sequential processing. If a single chunk fails - a dropped connection, for example- only that chunk gets retried, not the entire file. Memory footprint also stays low, since the full file never has to sit in memory at once; only the chunks currently being processed do. And because progress is tracked at the chunk level. An interrupted transfer can resume from where it left off rather than start it over from byte zero.

Google API Rate Limits
The software is designed to work within Google API usage limits by managing requests efficiently, helping ensure reliable performance during small and large Google Drive migration jobs.
Temporary Quota Errors
If Google temporarily restricts API requests due to quota limits, the software detects these temporary errors and waits before retrying the affected requests automatically.
Automatic Retry Mechanism
Failed API requests - whether from a brief network drop or Google's rate limits kicking in - get retried automatically by the Google Drive Migration Utility. The migration keeps going without anyone having to step in and fix it by hand.

FAQ
It runs entirely on the official Google Drive API — there's no IMAP involved. This means it works directly within Google Workspace's authentication and permission model, rather than relying on a generic protocol that wasn't built for Drive data.
There are four login methods available in the software OAuth 2.0 (Modern Authentication), Domain-Wide Delegation (DWD), JSON Service Account Key, & P12 Service Account Key. This gives individual users a simple login option.
Yes. Admins can upload a CSV file listing user accounts & run a bulk migration across all of them in one go.
It does. Folder structure stays intact after migration, & file metadata carries over as well, provided the source data supports it.
When the tool hits a temporary rate limit or quota error from Google's API, it retries those specific requests on its own. Large migrations can keep running without someone needing to step in and restart anything manually.
Yes. Everything happens on your own machine - the tool doesn't route your Drive data through any third-party server during migration.
