Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 Migration Checklist
A buyer-friendly checklist for moving from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, including mailboxes, DNS, files, identity, and post-migration checks.
Direct answer
A Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 migration should map users, mailboxes, groups, calendars, DNS, file ownership, sharing, and device needs before cutover. The plan should include Exchange Online setup, SharePoint structure, Intune readiness, testing, user communication, and post-migration support.
What should be mapped before migration?
| Workspace area | Microsoft 365 target | Planning question |
|---|---|---|
| Gmail | Exchange Online | Which mailboxes, aliases, shared mailboxes, and groups need migration? |
| Google Drive | SharePoint and OneDrive | Which files are team-owned, personal, archived, or sensitive? |
| Groups | Microsoft 365 groups and security groups | Which groups control access, collaboration, and email routing? |
| Devices | Intune or existing device management | Which devices need enrollment, compliance checks, or support notes? |
How should the migration be staged?
Assess the tenant
Review users, mailboxes, groups, Drive content, DNS records, security settings, and business-critical workflows.
Design the Microsoft 365 target
Plan Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, security groups, and device readiness before moving data.
Run pilot and cutover checks
Test mailbox migration, file access, DNS changes, user sign-in, and mobile access before full rollout.
Support after migration
Confirm mail flow, shared files, permissions, user questions, device access, and admin handover after cutover.
Treat migration as an operating change
BPro Technologies can review Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 readiness, SharePoint planning, Intune basics, and the support path before migration starts.

Questions buyers ask
Can BPro Technologies migrate Google Workspace to Microsoft 365?
Yes. BPro Technologies can help plan user mapping, mailbox migration, DNS cutover, Exchange Online setup, SharePoint file structure, Intune readiness, and post-migration checks.
Should Google Drive files move directly into SharePoint?
Not always. Files should be reviewed first. Team-owned content may belong in SharePoint, personal drafts may belong in OneDrive, and stale or sensitive content may need cleanup before migration.
