Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 Migration

Mail, contacts, calendars and files all migrate. What does not transfer is Google Chat history, Apps Script automations, AppSheet apps, Google Sites content and file version history — those are rebuilt or archived rather than moved. Everything in that list is manageable when it is planned for; it is only a problem when it is discovered afterwards.

Not one to one, and this is the part that decides whether the migration is judged a success. A Shared Drive is a flat container with member permissions; a SharePoint site has inherited permissions, libraries and its own structure. We design the target structure with you before copying anything, because moving files twice is far more disruptive than spending a week on the design.

They are converted to Word, Excel and PowerPoint formats. The overwhelming majority convert cleanly. The exceptions are Sheets carrying heavy scripting or unusual formulas, and documents with complex layout — those are identified during discovery and checked individually rather than assumed to be fine.

There is no conversion path. Anything running on Apps Script has to be rebuilt, typically in Power Automate or Office Scripts. This is frequently the longest single item in a Google-to-Microsoft move and it is routinely missed at quoting stage, so we inventory it during discovery before any date is agreed.

Yes. Google sharing links embedded in emails, documents, websites and third-party systems will break, and no migration tool can prevent that. What is manageable is scope: we identify the links that matter — customer-facing documents, links inside other systems — and reissue those deliberately rather than discovering them one complaint at a time.

Sometimes not. We resell both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, so we have no stake in the direction you go. If the driver is cost alone, run the numbers properly first. If it is that finance genuinely needs desktop Excel, or that a critical application expects Outlook, those are good reasons. Our comparison of the two sets out where each honestly wins.

Longer than a webmail migration, because of the file design work and anything built on Apps Script or AppSheet. For a business of 10 to 50 users with a straightforward Drive structure, typically three to six weeks including design. Where there are custom apps or a large, disorganised Drive, scope it properly rather than working to a guess.

For a limited period, yes, and on larger moves it is often sensible — mail cuts over in one step while files migrate over a longer window. Running both indefinitely is not a strategy, though, because people quietly keep working in whichever one they prefer and you end up with two live copies of everything.
