Case Study: Forbes completes 15TB Google Drive migration in 10 days with DryvIQ

Forbes completes successful Google Drive migration in 10 days

Forbes, a global media brand, needed to consolidate its departments onto Google Drive by migrating 15TB of content from another cloud platform. With a strict three-month deadline to avoid costly renewal fees, their initial do-it-yourself migration approach proved too slow. After a single folder took two weeks to move manually, they turned to the vendor DryvIQ for a solution with only 10 days remaining before their deadline.

DryvIQ successfully executed the migration by streaming files directly from the source to Google Drive, preserving all file structures and user information. This approach allowed Forbes to migrate its 325 users and 15TB of data on time, avoiding renewal fees and ensuring a seamless transition for employees with no disruption. The Forbes team was shocked and happy with the results, noting that DryvIQ was incredibly responsive and delivered on its promise.
