Google Workspace to microsoft 365 migration
When we are migrating from Google workspace to Microsoft 365 using Microsoft automated migration method, what are the chances of emails getting duplicated if in Google an email has multiple labels tagged.
And also, what's the limit of user data we can migrate per day and how many concurrent users we can migrate?

The decision to switch from Google Workspace to Office 365 was driven by our need for enhanced collaboration features and better integration with Microsoft products. After researching various tools, I opted for the MigrateEmails G Suite to Office 365 Migration tool, which promised a seamless transition. The interface of the migration tool was user-friendly, making it easy for someone without extensive technical knowledge to navigate through the process. The setup involved creating a Google Service Account and configuring the necessary permissions, which was straightforward thanks to the detailed instructions provided within the tool.
During the manual migration process, emails that have multiple labels in Google Workspace can lead to duplication in Microsoft 365. Outlook treats each label in Gmail as a separate folder, causing this issue. But using tools like DRS Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 Migration Tool, which can eliminate all duplicate emails during the migration process, your output data is more precise. Apart from this, you can also migrate bulk Google Workspace data into Microsoft 365 with just a few clicks. As a tech expert, I recommend trying this tool and migrating data with minimal downtime.
- When migrating from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, there's a chance of duplicated emails if they have multiple labels because each label might create a copy during the transfer. As for the limits, it typically depends on the method you’re using and your plan. You can usually migrate up to 500 MB of data per user per day, but check Microsoft's guidelines for specifics on concurrent user limits.
