What’s changing
Beginning today, the Google Workspace Migrate tool can be used to migrate files from Microsoft SharePoint Online to Google Drive. This allows admins to migrate data from SharePoint Online sites, including document libraries, folders, files and associated permissions, helping organizations transition to Google Workspace quickly and easily.
You can start and complete a migration in a few simple steps:
- Connect to your SharePoint Online account from which you want to copy data.
- Specify which sites you want to copy data from and which Drive folders should contain the copied data.
- Specify users and groups whose permissions should be copied.
