Tool recommendation to remediate problems in Google Drive files before migrating to ODFB
Hello all, I'm working on a migration project from Google Apps to Office 365 and one of the parts that need to be fixed before starting the migration is about how to remediate problems in the names ...
I was thinking more on doing this remediation without having to sync files locally...in this particular case, migration is done through FastTrack so the remediation should be done ideally with a tool that allows to replace this ilegal caracters at Google Drive without having to locally sync the files in each user PC
There some tools (like Netdrive) that can map Google Drive (and other cloud storages) under a drive letter via webdav. This way you don't have to sync locally, yet you can go through on the items with powershell, like:
Dir -Recurse | Where { $_.Name.Contains("&")} | Rename-Item -NewName { $_.Name -replace "&","_" }Just tried it: slow, but works well.
- Thanks a lot Zoltan,
This approach could work for this customer!
