Migrate Files from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 in Bulk

Migrating a high volume of files from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 requires a strategic approach. The approach your team plans to take must not only ensure a seamless transfer but also maintain a high level of security.

Here are some of the best practices you can follow to migrate Google Workspace files to Microsoft 365 without any data loss or performance compromises:

Preserve the Hierarchical Permissions of the Files

After finalizing the Google Workspace files to migrate to Microsoft 365, create a plan to preserve their sharing permissions. And while you are at it, it’s best to retain the hierarchical order to ensure the end-users and their collaboration structures do not get impacted post-migration.

With our Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 migration tool, your team can preserve the permissions of the root and inner files in a hierarchical order. This is possible by factoring in their root folder and sub folder locations and sharing permission types, e.g., edit, view, and more.

Ensure Adequate Availability of API Calls

Another step that is often an oversight when planning to migrate files from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 is checking the availability of API calls. Make sure to check the number of API calls available on both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 licenses of your company.

You can collaborate with our team to understand whether the available API calls will suffice for migrating all the Google Workspace files and folders without any disruption.

Perform the Migration in Batches

If your company has a high volume of users and files/folders in Google Workspace, we recommend migrating them to Microsoft 365 in batches. This approach will help you keep the risk of API throttling at bay.

Divide the users into several batches after the CSV mapping process and perform their one-time migration and delta migration accordingly. Our managed migration team will provide you with complete support in mapping users and creating their batches.

Validate Each Batch as and When It Gets Migrated

To ensure your team migrates users and their files and folders from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 without any error, validate each batch as and when its one-time and delta migration gets completed.

This approach reduces the complexities of validating a high volume of users and their files.
