title: Transporting data to Amazon Workspaces
body: <p>I am managing a bunch of users using Amazon Workspaces, they have terabytes of data which they want to start playing around with on their workspace.</p>
  
  <p>I am wondering what is the best way to do the data upload process? Can everything just be downloaded from Google Drive or Dropbox? Or should I use something like AWS Snowball, which is specifically for migration?</p>
  
  <p>While something like AWS Snowball is probably the safest, best bet, I'm kind of hesitant to add another AWS product to the mix, which is why I might just have everything be uploaded and then downloaded from Google Drive / Dropbox. Then again, I am building an AWS environment that will be used long term, and long term using Google Drive / Dropbox won't be a solution. </p>
  
  <p>Thoughts to architect this out (short term and long term)?</p>
