This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 82014

When this will happen

Public preview: We will begin rolling this out in late April and expect to complete rollout mid-May.

We will communicate via a new Message center post before this feature becomes generally available in late July 2021.

How this will affect your organization

This release will enable you to migrate your Google documents, data, and users to OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams in Microsoft 365 and collaborate all in one place.

As you connect to a Google enterprise account, the service begins discovering drives and their files. The service will automatically map to an individual’s OneDrive accounts, but you can also manually map to a specific OneDrive user account, SharePoint site, or a Teams channel.

What you need to do to prepare

Sign-in to the SharePoint admin center, select Migration from the left pane and then select Google. You will be walked through the steps and be prompted for the pertinent information needed to start your migration.

Note: To access, you must be a global admin or OneDrive/SharePoint admin to the Microsoft 365 tenant where you want to migrate your content.

This preview is currently supporting small to medium Google accounts. For the large Google accounts, some of the features may not function as expected. You can use Mover.io if the size of this Google account exceeds the limit supported by this preview release.
