Migrating Outlook to Google Workspace can be done manually by exporting Outlook emails as a PST file and then importing them into Google Workspace using the Google Workspace Migration for Microsoft Outlook (GWMMO) tool. This process requires installing GWMMO, configuring user settings, and specifying the PST file location. While manual migration is feasible, it has challenges such as data corruption risks, time consumption for large mailboxes, and the need for technical expertise to handle errors or synchronization issues.
To simplify the process, the Migrate Cloud Data Outlook Backup Tool offers a more efficient approach. This tool automates the migration, ensuring a seamless transfer of emails, contacts, calendars, and other data without the need for manual intervention. It also supports incremental migration, reducing the chances of data duplication and saving time. The tool ensures data integrity and minimizes the risks associated with manual methods, making it a preferred choice for migrating Outlook to Google Workspace.
