  • Make migrated archive mail only visible in Google Vault (not Gmail).
  • Make attachments of archived mail uploaded to Google Drive only visible in Google Vault. If you turn on this setting, large email attachments will be visible in Vault (not Drive).

Quick launch summary 

Earlier this year, we announced G Suite Migrate. Launching in beta, this first-party product helps admins assess and plan migration projects, making the migration of enterprise data and content to G Suite seamless.

Now, G Suite admins who require migration from Box, as well as other previously supported Microsoft services like Exchange or Office 365 can utilize G Suite Migrate. We hope that adding support for migrations from Box will help ease the transition for G Suite users. G Suite admins can learn more and sign up for the G Suite Migrate beta here.

G Suite also offers interoperability functionality between Box and G Suite, learn more here.

On December 31, 2018, we will discontinue support for Windows XP and Server 2003 in the following Windows-based G Suite data migration and sync tools:
The Windows XP and Server 2003 platforms are no longer supported by Microsoft. If already installed, the G Suite tools will continue to function on these platforms, but will not be actively tested and maintained, and will not receive security updates. If you are still using one of these unsupported platforms, we encourage you to move to a newer version of Windows.
