Migrate your Project Drive data
Project management platform built around Gantt charts, team task allocation, and budget tracking. Geared toward small-to-mid-sized teams needing structured project visibility over informal kanban-style tools.
In its favor
Why people choose Project Drive
The signal that keeps Project Drive on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Gantt chart provision gives managers direct visibility into project stand and timeline health without switching tools.
Task allocation to cross-functional teams is structured and explicit, reducing ambiguity about who owns what deliverable.
Budget and cost management fields are native to the platform, letting finance and PM teams share one source of truth.
Calendar integration allows teams to schedule meetings directly from project task deadlines without copy-paste workflows.
The interface is straightforward for new users once the initial onboarding period passes, reducing long-term training overhead.
The first-timer experience is steep — reviewers consistently report needing dedicated time to become comfortable with the platform.
Pricing is described as on the higher side for the feature set, prompting teams to evaluate lower-cost alternatives.
Feature gaps in integrations mean teams using other tools must resort to manual handoffs or workarounds.
The platform is less user-friendly than competitors for onboarding, creating friction when adding new team members quickly.

Pricing tiers
Project Drive pricing overview
Project Drive does not publish pricing on its vendor materials or third-party listings. Capterra lists pricing as 'Contact vendor for pricing' with no free trial offered. The platform is marketed to freelancers, small businesses, mid-size businesses, and enterprises with a monthly subscription model, but specific per-user or per-tier costs require direct sales engagement. Quote-based licensing means migration scoping cannot pre-confirm total cost of ownership without a vendor conversation.

What gets migrated
Project Drive object support
Object-by-object support for Project Drive migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Projects
Fully supportedProjects are the top-level container in Project Drive. We extract all project-level metadata including name, description, status, and creation timestamps. Export is straightforward via the application's data export UI.
Tasks
Fully supportedTasks are the core working unit. We preserve task name, description, assignee, start date, due date, and status. Task ordering within the Gantt sequence is captured from the visual layout.
Subtasks
Mapping requiredSubtasks nest under tasks. We map them as child tasks in the destination, collapsing the hierarchy to a flat task list with a parent-reference field. Some destination tools flatten this relationship entirely.
Milestones
Fully supportedMilestones are date-flagged markers within the Gantt view. We export them as standalone task records with a milestone boolean flag for destination systems that support it.
Users and Assignees
Fully supportedUser accounts and task assignments map 1:1. We preserve the assignee relationship and map it to the destination's owner or assignee field. User metadata beyond name is limited in the export.
Budget and Cost Fields
Mapping requiredProject Drive tracks budget and cost data per project. These fields require mapping to the destination's financial schema, as naming conventions and precision vary between platforms. We flag any null or zero values as potential data gaps.
Attachments
Mapping requiredAttachments on tasks or projects are exported as binary file blobs. We preserve the original filename and content type. Link integrity to the destination system depends on the target's file storage approach.
Calendar Events
Not in this platformProject Drive integrates with external calendars but does not expose calendar event objects in its export. We do not migrate calendar entries directly; teams re-sync post-migration.
