You can see the comments, but they're missing the account of the user who made them. Downloading everything and re-uploading - This loses attribution information on the comments in google docs/sheets/etc.I'd like to migrate to workspace for the shared drive feature, but there's no way to do that gracefully. Here's what I've tried (including rclone).

I'd complain more about this process but I'm saving my energy for my next rant about the abomination that is called Collaborative Inboxes, a group email solution that could only be called that by someone who has never used email. That was followed by a follow up chat with support to learn that migrating from your personal google account to a workspace account is apparently not a feature. That's when we discovered that multiple formulas were corrupted, scripts lost and formatting was a mess.

We would have looked at another migration tool first but we made the mistake of following supports advice that we could just download everything and set the files to reupload as docs, slides and sheets. The new account then made a copy of those files and renamed them and yes there were a lot of files and and yes it was a painfully long process. Had the same issue and what we ended up doing is separating sheets, slides and docs that had specific formatting, formulas and scripts into one folder that the old user shared with the new account.
