Google Chat has no native path into Teams. Export via Vault or Takeout and keep it as an archive.
For Drive, CloudM handle Shared Drives and permissions well. Google's flat sharing model does not map onto SharePoint inheritance, so plan your site structure first.
Under 100 users, cutover beats staged. Distribution lists cause the most friction, so decide early if they become Groups, shared mailboxes, or DLs.
Calendars migrate fine, but recurring meetings with external guests need manual reinvites.
Pilot 5 to 10 users across mail, Drive and calendar together. It catches what testing alone misses.
