ShareGate Migrate relies on available Google and Microsoft APIs to move your Google Drive content to SharePoint, and there are a few limitations to consider.

General limitations

  • When migrating folders from shared drives, the Created by metadata value is replaced by the last Modified by value at the destination.

  • Migrate does not copy files shared with a guest or shareable link with the link. Users will have to re-share these files at the destination.

  • Google Docs files are exported and updated by Google to work in Microsoft Office and might appear different at the destination.

  • Your users will not find files shared with them in a Shared with me view unless your migration destination is a OneDrive for Business environment that does not use the modern experience.

    • Migrate replicates your Google Drive access through a set of permissions. Your users will have access to the files even though they won't find them in a view.

Note: Limitations from your SharePoint destination could apply.
