Google Workspace Changes

Migration of files from Microsoft SharePoint Online to Google Drive is now generally available via the New Data Migration service.

The functionality to migrate files from Microsoft SharePoint Online to Google Drive, previously in open beta, is now generally available through the New Data Migration service. This service allows admins to transfer data from SharePoint Online sites, including document libraries, folders, files, and associated permissions, facilitating a smooth transition to Google Workspace. The migration process supports up to 100 SharePoint Online sites at a time to Shared Drives, provides comprehensive reporting, and offers delta updates for newly added or modified files.
