Yes. There are a few tools on the market that will move data from on-prem systems to Google Drive, and let you map/set ownership and permissions.<\/p>\n
Some are bundled with email migration tools and work on a per user basis, others are per-GB.<\/p>\n

We are moving over to a google school district and we would like to move all of our staff current backed up documents off our current NAS and over to google drive. Does anyone have a good and somewhat quick way to do this? Thanks in advance!

How much data are we talking about here and do you need to secure any of it?

Quick, no
You need to be meticulous since the permissions don’t transfer over and many users should likely move their own data
Here is a great support doc from Google that touches on what you’re looking to do Moving content from Drive shared folders - Google Workspace Admin Help
They are just teacher lesson plans and such, so nothing extremely secure. Probably talking about a total of around 1TB of data.

Unless those are live documents I would leave them on the NAS for a while. Teachers just need to drag-and-drop their live files to GDocs (you probably know this) from their machines. The other option is to setup the Drive Connector on all of their machines to make it a little more familiar. If they can access the backups themselves, have them move it themselves into a folder called BACKUPS in GDrive.
Google has/had and upload limit of a 2gig file and their was a daily cap but I don’t remember what it was or if it is still in place.
The one piece you should look into is GoogleVault and turn it on.

I would definately look at your plan and see how much Drive storage you have. I am not sure what the process would be for bulk uploading files.

You should use CloudMigrator to manage this. You can specify each user and their network path and bulk upload everyone with reporting. You can shoot files up in their native format (doc, xls, ppt, etc) or have them convert to Google formats on upload.
