"I really enjoy using ShareGate's GUI for small, one-off migration tasks of sites and libraries. For larger migration projects, I love the PowerShell cmdlets because they allow me to run tasks faster and unattended."
"I love how user friendly this tool is. Even for folks on my team who have never used it. Never needed to give them training. For such a powerful tool, I love that."
"I can just copy a library and just let it run. The permission reports are also very helpful for the modern workforce being so portable. It's less of a full time job trying to find out where people have access to things."
"ShareGate allows us to perform cross-tenant migrations with little effort. Whether the content is in another M365 tenant, a local file share, google drive or an on-premise farm, ShareGate will be able to migrate it and not only migrate it, but do so efficiently without a steep learning curve."

Frequently asked questions
ShareGate makes Google Workspace migration fast with its easy setup and intuitive workflows—no PowerShell needed (though it’s available if you want it!), just a user-friendly interface to get started quickly and guide you through the configurations.
Our unique licensing model helps you accelerate data transfer and mitigate throttling by running concurrent migrations. That means you can run multiple migrations simultaneously on different workstations. Whichever method you use, ShareGate’s migration engine manages the workload, migrating over 3 PB of data monthly. As our customers tell us, it just works!
We also help you speed up adoption. ShareGate's turnkey Microsoft 365 end-user training ensures that your people are able to leverage the tools in their new environment, without your team having to run weekly lunch-and-learn lessons.
ShareGate’s Google Workspace migration uses the same powerful engine as its SharePoint migrations, making it easy to move everything to Microsoft 365. It transforms Google formats (.gdoc) to Microsoft formats (.docx) while preserving permissions, authors, timestamps, and version history.
With ShareGate, you can schedule migrations to minimize downtime, run incremental migrations to transfer the changes only made since your last migration, and sequence your migration to run jobs automatically one after the other using any timeframe that works for your organization.
With ShareGate, you can migrate:
- Google My Drive—Migrate files and folders from personal user drives to SharePoint, Microsoft 365, or OneDrive for Business
- Google Shared Drive—Transfer files from shared drives to SharePoint
Additionally, ShareGate ensures that important attributes are preserved during migration, including:
- Permissions: Retain permissions at the destination for users and groups
- Authors: Bring over the details of who created and modified documents
- Timestamps: Maintain the original creation and modification dates
- Versions: Preserve version history for all documents
ShareGate migrates from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 (not the other way around). You can move Google Drive (both My Drive and Shared Drives) to OneDrive or SharePoint. You can also migrate Gmail and Google Calendar to Exchange Online, including contacts, rules, and labels. Google Groups aren't supported.
ShareGate connects to Google Workspace using a Super Admin account with domain-wide delegated access, then migrates Gmail mailboxes to Exchange Online. You choose what to copy (emails, calendars, contacts, and mailbox rules) and map source mailboxes to destination mailboxes, which need to exist before you start.
Gmail labels become Exchange Online categories to avoid duplicating messages. Google Meet events are recreated as new Teams meetings with updated links, and attendees get re-invited automatically.
Yes. ShareGate lets you select specific Gmail mailboxes to migrate to Exchange Online. You don't have to migrate everyone. The Google Workspace connection still requires a Super Admin account with domain-wide authority, so the admin account has access to all mailboxes even though you're only migrating a subset.
It depends on how much data you're moving and how many machines you're running in parallel. A typical ShareGate mailbox migration moves about 10 to 12 GB per hour per machine, but throttling can slow things down.
To estimate your timeline, divide your total mailbox data size by that throughput, then multiply by the number of machines you're running. Add buffer time for incremental passes and unexpected issues.
You need a Google Workspace account with the Super Admin role, domain-wide authority delegated to ShareGate in the Google Admin Console, and the required permission scopes added to the allowlist.
Before you migrate, run a Google Workspace migration assessment to inventory users, mailboxes, and drives. This helps you scope and batch the migration accurately. Also make sure your Microsoft 365 destination is ready (for example, target OneDrives need to be provisioned before you migrate personal drives).
