Move it your way
One folder today, the rest next week. Pick folders or single files, send them to any Drive folder, and come back for more.
Every file accounted for
A report lists every file that moved, was skipped or failed, with the reason. Failed files are never charged, and you can retry them.

- A few hours
- 500 GB
- Under a day
- 2 TB
- About 3 days
- 7 TB
- About 10 days
Moving into a Shared Drive does not change the limit: it counts for the Google account that does the uploading.
