Migrate Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 — Transfer Drive Files to OneDrive and SharePoint with RcloneView
Your organization is switching ecosystems. Thousands of files in Google Drive need to land in OneDrive and SharePoint — intact, organized, and verified. Here's how to do it without the chaos.
Moving from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 is one of the most common enterprise migrations. The challenge isn't the decision — it's the data.

RcloneView makes this migration visual, verifiable, and manageable.

Migration Planning
Map your structure first
Before transferring anything, plan how Google Drive's structure maps to Microsoft 365:
| Google Workspace | Microsoft 365 |
|---|---|
| My Drive (personal) | OneDrive (personal) |
| Shared Drives | SharePoint Document Libraries |
| Shared with Me | Shared via OneDrive/SharePoint |
Prepare accounts
Connect both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 accounts in RcloneView:
Step-by-Step Migration
1) Transfer personal files
Open Google Drive in one pane, OneDrive in the other. Select folders and transfer:
2) Migrate Shared Drives to SharePoint
Map each Google Shared Drive to its corresponding SharePoint Document Library. Transfer one at a time for clean organization.
3) Verify every transfer
This is critical. Use Folder Comparison to confirm that all files transferred correctly:
4) Handle large migrations in batches
For organizations with terabytes of data, create separate sync jobs for each department or Shared Drive:
