Migrating G suite to Office 365
Hey,
G Suite to Office 365 migration with 69 users is very manageable — here's how I'd approach it:
Before you start:
Set up your Office 365 tenant and create user accounts
Verify your domain in Microsoft 365 admin center
Make sure you have Google Admin console access
Assign appropriate Microsoft 365 licenses to all 69 users
What you need to migrate:
Emails and folder structure
Calendars and recurring events
Contacts
Google Drive files (these need special handling — OneDrive/SharePoint)
Tasks
Migration approach:
For 69 users, doing this manually via native Microsoft tools is possible but painful — especially for calendars, contacts, and tasks which don't migrate cleanly out of the box with native methods.
I've used EdbMails G Suite Migration Tool for a similar-sized project and it handled the heavy lifting well. A few things that stood out:
It uses Google Admin credentials so you don't need individual user passwords
Emails, calendars, contacts, and tasks all migrate in one pass
Incremental migration keeps mailboxes in sync until you're ready for final cutover
No PowerShell needed — everything through a GUI
The process is :
Connect source (G Suite) using Google Admin account
Connect target (Office 365) using admin credentials
Map source and destination mailboxes
Run the migration — monitor progress via built-in reports
Run a final incremental sync before updating MX records
Update DNS/MX records to point to Office 365
Decommission G Suite accounts after confirming everything is in order
For Google Drive files, you'd handle those separately through OneDrive migration — EdbMails covers the mailbox side.
Hope this helps — happy to answer any specific questions about the process.
