- Document how to propagate domain level permissions (share via link)
- Use Exclude Shared when you want SkySync to propagate permissions; the destination will not yield the same folder structure because the destination may have a different sharing scheme (e.g. Box shares show up on root only).
- To duplicate the exact data structure you should have exclude shared off and do NOT propagate permissions.

Transferring "Share by Link" Permissions
To apply share-by-link permissions from G Suite to Box, you will need to create a user group in Box that you can map to your Google domain. You can then add the users
For example, when transferring from G Suite to Box, if your domain in G Suite is mydomain.com, under Group Mappings, create an exception map with mydomain.com as the source group and the group name added to Box as the destination group.
When the job executes, folders with "share-by-link" permissions will transfer to Box as permissions to the mapped Box group.
Summary/Recommendations
GoogleDrive.AllowSharedWithMe
This SkySync application setting controls how shares
set true only if you know you are not transferring the whole drive=, otherwise you risk duplication.
