Use the following headers when you're creating a CSV file for a scoped view or mapping for a Google Workspace to Google Workspace migration. Your choice of headers depends on the data that you want to migrate.
CSV file format
- All headers and entries are case-sensitive unless indicated.
- When using a mapping CSV file, prefix the column headers belonging to the source connection with Source. Prefix the target connection column headers with Target.
- Make sure the character encoding of the CSV file is set to UTF-8.

MapChildrenOnly Must be preceded by a column with a folder value |
To map the contents of the folder, but not the folder itself, use the MapChildrenOnly header with the (case-insensitive) string true. To map the folder and its content, omit the column or use the (case-insensitive) string false.
Example |
| Sub Path |
To map a Drive folder that doesn't currently exist in your target Google Workspace account, use the Sub Path header. Add the path and name of the new folder below. During a migration, Google Workspace Migrate creates the path and folder and migrates the data to the new folder. You can map only data to a folder in Drive using the Sub Path header. You can’t map email messages to a label. Example |
