    Switching the email clients brings responsibility for migrating the old data too in a new mail application. And, the same condition is faced by users when they move from Microsoft Outlook<\/strong> to G Suite<\/strong> account. However, by doing this, users can read .pst files in Gmail<\/a><\/strong> free account and G Suite account too. So, let’s discuss the way to import Outlook data PST files to a Google Mail account within clicks.<\/p>\n

    Top 2 Methods to Import PST Files to G Suite \/ Google Workspace Account<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Whenever we consider the migration to G Suite from Microsoft Outlook, two conditions come into existence. The very first situation is when a user only has a PST (Personal Storage Table) file in the system and no Outlook installation on the PC. And, the second instance is when the user has Outlook in the system and wants to import its data into G Suite. Here, we will consider both the circumstances and provide a solution according to it.<\/p>\n

    # Method 1: Import PST to Google Workspace \/ G Suite Via. GSMMO Utility<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    You can also try G Suite Migration for Microsoft Outlook tool to Upload Outlook PST files to G Suite. It is a utility provided by Google to migrate Outlook data to the desired Google Workspace account. Moreover, it has a pre-requisite that it requires Outlook installation in the system for its work.<\/p>\n

    Since it is a manual approach, we have to follow a checklist before getting into the real migration process. Check out below migration checklist below to ensure a safe data transfer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Step 1: Set Up User Accounts in Google Workspace<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Create accounts for your users on Google Workspace, ensuring their aliases from the old Exchange server are replicated. Additionally, form groups that mirror your previous mailing lists. Explore ‘Adding an account for a new user’ for detailed instructions.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Step 2: Enable Smart Features & Personalization<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Before data migration, determine if you want to utilize smart features in Gmail, Google Chat, Meet, and other Google tools that personalize based on data from these platforms. To activate functionalities like auto sorting in Gmail, enable smart features and personalization in the target account before transferring data. Learn more about enabling these features.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Step 3: Migrate Shared Contacts (Optional)\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Optionally synchronize your organization’s shared contacts with Google Workspace via Google Cloud Directory Sync (GCDS) before your users move their data. This synchronization grants immediate access to your organization’s complete address list. For information on syncing contacts, refer to Google Cloud Directory Sync.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Step 4: Now You have to Install GWMMO<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Users should make sure that only one instance of GWMMO is active per user account to avoid complications during the migration of PST files to Google Workspace.<\/p>\n

    This means that a user is restricted to using just one instance of GWMMO at a time. If a user wants to run multiple instances simultaneously or log in from different devices, it can result in access issues or conflicts within the migration process.<\/p>\n
