What’s changing?
You can migrate files from Microsoft SharePoint Online to Google Drive using the Google Workspace Migrate tool. This helps administrators migrate data, including document libraries, folders, files, and associated permissions from SharePoint Online sites, enabling organizations to transition to Google Workspace quickly and easily.
You can start and complete the migration in a few simple steps:
- Connect to the SharePoint Online account from which you want to copy data.
- Specify which sites to copy data from and which Drive folder to store the copied data in.
- Specify the users and groups whose permissions you want to copy.
