Both the source and destination environment administrators need to decide on how the transfer executes. These transfer options are then communicated to the Google Workspace Domain Transfer Divestiture team:
- Transfer domains—The list of domain names which need to be transferred from the source environment to the destination environment. If this includes your primary domain name, you need to specify what nontransfer domain will be made primary instead. Primary domains can't be transferred.
- Transfer root organizational unit—The full path to the transfer root organizational unit in the destination environment.
- Google Drive link sharing—Whether Drive and shared drive files should have link sharing:
- Stripped—All link sharing is removed. If direct sharing is not applied, users will lose access to documents when selecting this option.
- Expanded—All link sharing with the source environment is converted into link sharing with the destination environment.
- Learn more about Sharing files from Google Drive.
- Recreate the organizational unit structure in advance—Whether the destination admin will recreate the organizational unit structure of the source environment in advance, under the transfer root organizational unit in the destination environment. Learn more
- No—The domain transfer product recreates the organizational unit structure under the transfer root organizational unit in the destination during the transfer process.
- Yes—The destination environment admin recreates the entire organizational unit structure under the transfer root organizational unit in the destination in advance.
- Shared drive organization unit—The full path of an organizational unit in the source tenant that contains the shared drives you want to transfer. If you want to transfer shared drives, you must place them in this organizational unit (and not in any of its children). All other shared drives are left in the source tenant and not transferred to the destination environment.
- Google Vault retention in the source environment—Whether indefinite retention rules are added automatically or manually to the source environment.
- Automatic—The domain transfer product adds the rules. When using this option, Google needs to be told if the work should be scheduled, or if it can be executed on demand.
- Manual—The source’s Vault administrator adds the rules. When using this option, you need to provide a screenshot of your Vault interface, including the account information, to verify the indefinite retention rules are set.
