Migrating workloads from digital ocean to gcp

I am in the process of migrating droplets from digital ocean to gcp. Since digital ocean doesn't allow snapshots to be downloaded, I have used third party tools to create full backup of a virtual machine in tar.gz format and uploaded to google cloud storage. I tried to create an image from this using "gcloud compute images create" but it failed with this error: The file inside the tar archive was named ''./''. It should be named ''disk.raw''

I need somebody with prior knowledge to look into this and suggest a workaround to go ahead with this migration.
