Google Workspace and iCloud Overview

Before we go to the solutions on how to migrate Google Workspace to iCloud for emails, let’s first have a brief introduction of these 2 popular cloud drives.

Google Workspace, formerly known as G Suite, is a powerful cloud-based productivity that Google developed. It includes applications such as Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Calendar, and others. Applications like Gmail and Google Drive can integrate together seamlessly on Google Workspace to improve your work efficiency.

iCloud is Apple's cloud-based service offering features to help users store, sync, and share data across their Apple devices. It seamlessly integrates with macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, providing a cohesive and streamlined user experience. iCloud includes applications like Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and more.

Why Migrate Google Workspace to iCloud?

If you find yourself drawn to Apple’s simplicity and integration but now you are using Google Workspace for daily work, you may come up with an idea to migrate from Google Workspace to iCloud. So, what benefits can this migration bring to us? There are 3 advantages below:
