Migrate Data from Microsoft OneDrive to Google Drive in Google Workspace
In this article, we explain the process to migrate data using Microsoft OneDrive migration - you can connect to the source and target tenants - establish trust and start the migration. It improves file organization and administration, collaboration and cost savings.
Now you can migrate data from Microsoft OneDrive business editions to your organization’s Google Workspace user’s Google Drive with a new migration feature named “ Microsoft OneDrive migration”.
To initiate the migration, follow below mentioned steps
Step 1: Connect to your Microsoft account:
Sign in to the Google admin console as a super administrator.
Go to Menu and then Data > Data import & export > Data migration (New).
For Microsoft OneDrive, click Migrate.
Click Connect to Microsoft OneDrive and sign in as a Global Administrator with your Microsoft account.
Step 2: Set migration scope:
The new data migration service transfers files, folders, and permissions from a list of Microsoft OneDrive source users to target Google Workspace users.
Download the sample CSV file to get an example file you can use.
In the first column, add the header Source OneDrive User and add the emails of Microsoft OneDrive users that you want to migrate.
You can migrate up to 100 users at a time. Additional users will require a separate migration.
Save the spreadsheet as a CSV file.
The file must be smaller than 10 MB.
Upload the file
Step 3: Create and upload an identity map:
You use an identity map to connect users on the source account to users on the target account.
Download sample CSV to get an example CSV file that you can use.
In the first column, add the header Source Email.
In the second column, add the header Destination Email.
Using valid email addresses, add your organization’s Microsoft OneDrive source accounts and their target accounts in Google Workspace.
Save the spreadsheet as a CSV file.
The CSV file must be smaller than 10 MB.
Upload the file
Note: External users do not need to be added to the identity map. Their permissions are migrated by default.
Step 4: Start a migration:
Click Start migration.
You can see updates on the information below in real time while the migration is in process:
Discovered tasks: Total number of tasks, such as crawling, creating, and updating files, folders and permissions
Warning: Tasks that were completed but failed to complete as expected
Failed: Tasks that failed to migrate due to an error
Skipped: Tasks that were skipped because they were completed in a previous migration
Successful: Tasks that were successfully completed
Users processed: Number of users whose migration completed
Time elapsed: Time elapsed since migration started
Files discovered: Files migrating to Google Drive
Folders migrated: Folders successfully migrated to Google Drive
Files migrated: Files successfully migrated to Google Drive
Files skipped: Previously migrated files that were skipped
Files failed: Files that failed to migrate in Google Drive
Discovery issues: Folders from the source account that could not be crawled
You can export the report at any time once the migration starts.
Click Export migration report.
Stop a running migration:
If you need to stop a migration while it’s in progress, click Stop migration.
Stopping a migration may take a few minutes, and it does not rollback the migration process. Any files migrated before the stop won’t be deleted from Google Drive.
Step 5: Exit a completed migration:
Once the migration is complete you can run the Delta migration process to fetch the new files or any changes in sources end or you can exit the migration batch.
Note: You won’t be able to run delta migrations or access migration and user reports after you exit a completed migration.
