To import your Drupal website by creating a site archive file, you can use Drush.
Important
This method does not work with Drush 9 and 10 as the archive commands were removed in these versions. However, they were restored in Drush 11 and later. If you are using Drush 9 and 10 and want to import your Drupal site, use the manual import process instead.
This procedure is for Mac and Linux platforms. If your Drupal application (glossary term, activate to view definition) is on a Windows platform, you must manually import your application to Cloud Platform.
The current Drupal version requires Drush version 11 or later. Newer versions of Drush, that is, version 11 and later, must be installed through Composer. Acquia does not manage the update to the newer versions. For more information, visit About Drush on Cloud Platform.
[SITE] is the sitename of your application on Cloud Platform.

To find your [SITE] and [INFRASTRUCTURE] names, sign in to the Cloud Platform user interface and view the Infrastructure page for the environment (glossary term, activate to view definition). For more information on obtaining infrastructure information, visit .
