Data transfer Recovery

Hi All,

I have asked Gemini already so have the recommended 3 options but,

If hypothetically we had an Analyst transfer a leavers data to an incorrect internal person within our Workspace, is the only realistic option to transfer the data back to the correct person to use the investigation tool and then transfer the data in bulks of 300 at a time over to them?

Gemini did say GAM can be used ‘or’ transfer all data using the tools within Admin but it looks like both of these options would move all of the data from the person it was transferred to not just the incorrectly transferred files?

    Hi ​@ian_hew, thanks for reaching out. Just to ensure that you get the best possible support on this matter, I’d suggest sharing your question with the Google Workspace community here. 

    The reason I’m pointing you in that direction is to make sure you’re in the right hands for Workspace-specific technical advice. Hope that helps and thank you for your understanding!
