How can Google Admins prepare for a Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 migration?

Admins can use GAT+ to generate detailed reports on Drive files, folder structures, ownership, and sharing permissions. This visibility ensures a secure and complete migration, preserving access controls during the transition to Microsoft 365.

Can the Google Admin Console help with migration to Microsoft 365?

No. The Google Admin Console lacks granular insights into user Drive data and sharing configurations. GAT+ fills this gap with deep audit reports tailored for migration.

How can I retain file sharing permissions when moving to OneDrive or SharePoint?

With GAT+, you can extract current file and folder sharing configurations. This enables you to reapply permissions in OneDrive or SharePoint after migration, ensuring no loss of access.

What tools are needed for a successful migration from Google Drive to Microsoft 365?

You’ll need GAT+ for auditing and reporting, and a migration tool like Mover.io to handle the actual file transfer while maintaining control and oversight.

Migrate from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 with Complete Audit & Reporting Tools

1. Does the Google Workspace Admin Console provide reporting features that help with our migration to Office 365?
No. The Google Workspace Admin Console offers limited reporting and lacks the detailed insights needed for a successful migration.
To migrate effectively, you need a complete overview of your domain and deep visibility into each user’s Google Drive structure and sharing behaviour.

2. How do I move files from Google Drive to OneDrive for all users while preserving sharing permissions?
GAT+ is the only Google Workspace auditing tool that provides detailed reports on file ownership and sharing settings across your domain.
This data allows you to accurately recreate sharing permissions during the migration process.
Without it, files previously shared with users or groups could lose those permissions entirely once moved to OneDrive or SharePoint.

3. Do I need additional tools to complete the migration process?
Yes. Use GAT+ to generate in-depth reports on file structures, ownership, and sharing configurations.
Then, use a migration tool such as Mover.io to handle the actual file transfers from Google Drive to OneDrive.
