"I have some files in my Google Workspace account that need to be transferred to Office 365, is there any easy way to do this?"

"I'm going to switch to Office 365 because it's easier for me to work, and I want to know how to quickly move data from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365. Thank you so much!"

Users of other cloud applications such as Google Workspace (G Suite) are planning to migrate to the Microsoft 365 platform due to personal work needs or the advanced features offered by the platform. Compared to Google Workspace, Office 365 offers a wide range of plans, integration with desktop email client apps, and more features than other online storage platforms. Plus, Office 365 is favored by many businesses because of its security and flexible plans and subscriptions.

Here's how to implement Google Workspace migration to Office 365, you can choose according to your needs.

Common Way for Google Workspace to Office 365 Migration

Both Google Workspace and Office 365's admin center offer a manual or on-premises way of data migration. The whole process is divided into many stages, and each stage has multiple steps. Therefore, the process of this process is much more complicated than the third-party migration method, takes a lot of time to complete, and may fail if there is a slight error or network problem.

The whole process includes:

1. Verify that the two platform domains are the same;
2. Create a user in the target account;
3. Create a list of mailboxes for migration in a CSV file;
4. Create a Gmail IMAP migration endpoint;
5. Create migration batches and move mailboxes;
6. Update DNS records.

To make this process clearer for you, you can refer to the automated Google Workspace migration to Microsoft 365 documentation provided by Microsoft, which contains detailed steps. During this process, if you follow all the steps correctly, the migration will succeed; otherwise, you may waste time and effort without getting there.

Also, you need to know that using the above manual migration of G Suite to Office 365 has obvious disadvantages:

  • Maximum number of mailboxes - 50, 000; Maximum file size - 10MB;
  • Only emails are migrated; cloud files cannot be migrated;
  • Long and complicated process (creation of migration endpoints mostly fails);
  • Human error can lead to the failure of the entire process;
  • Technical expertise is required to perform the process correctly;
  • Risk of incomplete migration or data loss.
