Limitations of the Traditional Way

Although the first method can help Google Workspace to Wasabi migration, it comes with some obvious limitations, such as:

🙃1. When you need to backup a large amount of data from Google Workspace to Wasabi, the process might take a longer time, and even get stuck, which may result in data loss.

😶2. It works depending on the network connection, so the whole process might not go smoothly when the network is not satisfactory.

😑3. The manually downloading and re-uploading method requires the local device space as a temporary transit, so users have to ensure there is enough space to hold all data before trying to download them from the Google Workspace.

😣4. You had better stare at the computer and monitor the process in case it is disrupted by some accidents, which may cause inconvenience especially when you have to leave for a while.

😥5. This is a one-time execution. Namely, when you add new files to Google Workspace and want to back up them to Wasabi as well, you have to perform the download-and-upload again.
