Migrate Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 with Migration Manager

  • Article

Collaborate all in one place by migrating your Google Workspace files, metadata, and permissions to OneDrive and SharePoint in Microsoft 365.

How does it work?

  • Step 1: Connect to Google. Sign in to your Google account and install Microsoft 365 migration app in Google Workspace Marketplace.

  • Step 2: Scan and assess. Add Google Drives for scanning. Once the scans are complete, download Scan reports to investigate any possible issues that might block your migration.

  • Step 3: Copy to Migrations list. After a Google Drive is scanned as "Ready to migrate", you can add them to your migration list.

  • Step 4: Review destination paths. We automatically map source paths to any exactly matching destination paths. Ensure content is being copied to the right place by reviewing and modifying as needed for each destination path.

  • Step 5: Map identities. Map your domains, groups and users in Google Drive to those in Microsoft 365 to migrate metadata and permissions correctly.

  • Step 6: Migrate and Monitor. After reviewing your migration setup, migrate your Google Drives and monitor the progress.

Get started

To get started, navigate to Microsoft 365 Admin Center Home - Setup - Migration and imports and select Google Drive or Google Workspace to create a migration project. Make sure that you have:

    Important

    Microsoft recommends that you use roles with the fewest permissions. Using lower permissioned accounts helps improve security for your organization.

  • Access to the source: Have Google account credentials that have Read access to any Google user account you plan to migrate.

  • Prerequisites installed: Make sure you have the necessary prerequisites installed.

Once a migration project is created, you can start connecting to the source as described in the next step.
