Prior to migrating your files, you are encouraged to review your files to ensure they are still needed. These instructions only migrate files from your Google Drive- which do NOT include Google photos, sites, forms, slides, etc.
Please note that these instructions only transfer files in your Google Drive located in the "My Drive" section.
If you have files in the "Shared with Me" section that you would like to transfer, you will first need to save a copy in your own Google Drive before the migration below. Also note that any sharing permissions will not transfer and you will need to re-share files within OneDrive. Click here for instructions on how to share files in OneDrive.
