Migrating Google Sites to SharePoint Online can be a complex task due to differences in platform structures, features, and content management systems. Cloudiway provides a comprehensive and automated migration solution to facilitate this process, ensuring a smooth transfer of data, structure, and permissions from Google Sites to Microsoft SharePoint Online.

Key Features of Cloudiway's Google Sites to SharePoint Migration Solution

1. Automated Migration Process:

   • Cloudiway automates the migration of all Google Sites content, including pages, text, images, documents, and embedded media, to SharePoint Online, eliminating the need for manual intervention.

2. Preservation of Site Structure:

   • The solution ensures that the hierarchical structure of Google Sites is replicated in SharePoint. Cloudiway transfers site pages, subpages, and navigation menus to maintain consistency in the user experience after migration.

3. Content and Metadata Retention:

   • All content, including text, images, embedded Google Drive files, is transferred.
   • Metadata such as titles, creation dates, modification dates, and page owners are also preserved during the migration.
   • Links within the Google Sites content are updated to reflect the new SharePoint URLs.

4. Permissions and Access Control Migration:

   • Cloudiway ensures that permissions and access controls from Google Sites are mapped to the corresponding SharePoint permissions model.
   • This ensures that users who had access to specific Google Sites content will have similar access to the same content in SharePoint.

5. Bulk and Scalable Migration:

   • Cloudiway supports the migration of a large number of Google Sites to SharePoint Online simultaneously, offering scalability for businesses of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises.

6. Support for Classic and New Google Sites:

   • Cloudiway can handle both Classic Google Sites and the newer version of Google Sites, making it versatile and capable of migrating legacy sites as well as modern ones.

7. Delta Migration (Incremental Updates):

   • After the initial migration, Cloudiway supports delta passes, which means any changes made to the Google Sites content after the migration has started will be transferred to SharePoint without duplicating previously migrated content.

8. Mapping Features:

   • The tool provides powerful site mapping capabilities, allowing you to map Google Sites pages to corresponding SharePoint site collections, sites, or pages. Customization of how content is organized in SharePoint is also available.

9. Detailed Reporting and Error Handling:

   • Cloudiway offers real-time progress tracking and detailed reports during and after the migration process.
   • Comprehensive error handling ensures that any issues encountered during the migration are logged and reported, enabling administrators to resolve them quickly.
