Migrating Data from confluence to google Drive

Anand Vardhan_21ao97

Hi,

My team is currently planning to move our documentation to the shared drive. I tried searching for an add-on or a way to do it in one go but unfortunately, I haven't found any.

Is there a way to migrate data from confluence to google drive in one go?

Hi @Anand Vardhan

How do want the export of data?

PDF,
HTML,
XML ?

Confluence has a built in Export allowing you to pick the data you want and to export it in the 3 formats above.

@mike Could you please guide me on how to do the bulk data export? Also, the preferred format is .doc or .docx

Hi @Anand Vardhan

You can't export to .doc or .docx, the three choices are PDF, HTML, XML.

To get the Export section do the following:

Click Space Settings from the sidebar menu in Confluence.
Click Content Tools
Click Export
Pick HTML or XML or PDF and click Next.
Pick Normal Export (Generates a PDF file for each page in this space, excluding blogs, comments, and attachments) or Custom Export (Generates a PDF file of selected pages based on options that you choose from below).
If Custom Export you choose which pages you want, or select all or deselect all.

What a disappointing reply.

Confluence should support the mass export of Word files so that its customers can more easily migrate away from the service is required.

This sort of 'lock in' can only generate bad feeling.

If you want to move our documents from Atlassian to Google Drive, then:

Click Space Settings from the sidebar menu in Confluence.
Click Content Tools
Click Export
Pick HTML and click Next.
Choose Custom Export
Download Zip File on desktop
Expand Zip File
Open Google Drive and create folder
Copy expanded zip files to Google drive folder
Right click html file and select "Open with" > "google docs" option
Open index.html first. This creates your file tree that each file references
Delete HTML version converted after each "open with" (you still have export on desktop)

This is laborious if you have a ton of files, but will get the job done.

Confluence, please be more transparent and helpful. There are times where it is important to move these files. It could be company edict, financial, whatever! If you create more reasons to stay on the platform, there should be less risk in doing so.

Thank's for your help, Frank!

I have an error regarding the document references.

I opened the index.html first with the option "open with google docs" and then i converted the other .html-Files

The link tree tries to references the pages inside Google Docs but the path isn't correct and endet up in 404 Pages. Am i missing here something?

I also tried the other way. First converting all other html-files and then the index.html. Same result...

Thanks
Dennis

What I did :

- retrieve the whole space in HTML format

- use Pandoc to convert your HTML files to .docx. Do it in the folder where you unzipped the archive containing the Confluence files, so that dhe .docx conversion will include all the images and links

A nice Windows script is available here : https://gist.github.com/pagelab/fa73b9ee0263a7d25ae7eba420ad8f67

Pandoc : https://pandoc.org/

- last thing, make a script to recreate the folder hierarchy - can't post it here
