What ShareGate Migrate handles for this migration
User and group mapping before migration runs
Before any content moves, ShareGate Migrate automatically maps your Google Workspace users and groups to their Microsoft 365 counterparts using the SharePoint people picker. This means permission levels — Manager to Full Control, Content Manager to Contribute, Viewer to Read — are ready to apply the moment migration starts, without manual identity work.
File format export during the copy
During migration, Google's own API handles the export of Docs, Sheets, and Slides to their Office equivalents — ShareGate Migrate triggers that process as part of the copy operation. Note that exported files may appear slightly different at the destination, as Google's conversion handles the formatting transformation.
Per-item error review after each completed job
Once a migration job finishes, ShareGate Migrate produces a detailed per-item report showing what succeeded, what triggered a warning, and what failed with a categorized error. Review these results after the job — there is no source-side visibility into the Google environment before migration runs.

Frequently asked questions
Microsoft's Migration Manager supports Google Workspace as a source and can move Shared Drive content to OneDrive for Business. It automaps identities by exact name match and migrates permissions conditionally, but mismatches between Google and Microsoft identities require manual remediation before the migration runs. ShareGate Migrate also supports this migration path, connecting via both Google's and Microsoft's APIs after you add ShareGate Migrate to the allowlist in your Google Admin console. ShareGate Migrate automatically maps users and groups via the SharePoint people picker, recreates direct permissions, and triggers Google's native export to Office formats during the copy. Note that Google sharing links are not migrated by either tool — affected users will need to reshare those files in OneDrive after migration. For bulk multi-user migrations, ShareGate Migrate requires the PowerShell module with a CSV mapping file; the UI migrates one OneDrive user at a time.
Microsoft Migration Manager is the primary native option for moving Google Shared Drives to SharePoint Online, supporting Google Workspace as a source alongside a centralized task management interface. It handles Google format conversion via Google's own API and migrates permissions conditionally based on identity matching. ShareGate Migrate covers the same migration path and adds granular per-item post-migration reporting after each job completes, automatic user and group mapping via the SharePoint people picker, and PowerShell-based bulk migration using a CSV file for larger environments. Both tools do not migrate Google sharing links — only direct permissions are recreated at the destination, so users who accessed content via a shareable link will need to be reshared after migration. ShareGate Migrate only supports business Google Workspace accounts and requires the app to be consented in the Google Admin console before migration begins.
