Missing Audit Step
Root Cause
Missing Google Drives Audit
The Google Sites migration tool attempts to migrate embedded Google Drive content, but no Drives audit has been performed. Without the audit, the migration tool cannot locate or reference the embedded Drive files.
Why the Audit Is Required
- • Google Sites often embed files from Google Drive
- • The audit creates an index of all Drive files and their IDs
- • During site migration, embedded files are matched to this index
- • Without the index, file IDs cannot be resolved
Solution
Run Google Drives Audit First
Run Google Drives Audit
Navigate to the Google Drives section in Cloudiway and run an audit for all tenant users. This indexes all Drive files.
Wait for Completion
Allow the audit to complete fully. Large tenants may take some time to process all Drive content.
Restart Sites Migration
Once the Drives audit is complete, restart the Google Sites migration for the affected sites.
