Migrating from Google Drive to Microsoft OneDrive has become a smart and strategic decision for many organizations, especially for businesses that already rely on the Microsoft ecosystem. However, transferring data from Google Drive to OneDrive comes with several challenges, particularly when it comes to preserving file permissions and complete version history.

Migrating Google Drive data can be difficult, especially for users who manage large volumes of files. There are multiple ways available to perform this migration, and choosing the right method depends on specific business requirements.

One option is Google Takeout, which allows users to export their Drive data into downloadable archive files. For large exports, the data is divided into multiple ZIP files, and it can also be delivered directly to a connected OneDrive account. However, Google Takeout does not maintain original file permissions or full version history, which limits its effectiveness for business-level migrations.

To overcome these limitations, a third-party solution such as Shoviv Google Drive to OneDrive Migration Software can be used to make the process faster and more reliable. This tool supports the migration of multiple drives at the same time while ensuring full data integrity, including original formatting, file permissions, and complete version history. It supports all Google Drive data types, such as files, folders, Google Docs, and Shared Drives. In addition, built-in filters allow users to perform selective migrations based on their specific needs.
