Gmail to Outlook, Google Drive to OneDrive, Google Sites to SharePoint. These are the common scenarios that we’ve heard from people who wished to perform a Google Workspace to Office 365 migration. But do you know? Extracting your calendar entries from Google Workspace to Office 365 is as important as migrating your mails, documents, and sites from G Suite to Office 365.
In this blog let’s explore more about calendar migration and the methods involved in it!
Why is it necessary to migrate your calendar entries?
While migrating from G Suite to Office 365, enterprises tend to be negligent about having their calendar entries imported from G Suite to Office 365. Some believe that creating new calendar events and appointments can solve the problem, while others rely on manual migration for importing their calendar entries.

But to stick with the truth, both these processes can be truly time consuming
Because when you’re creating fresh events/appointments, you will either miss out on important dates or make errors with the timings. And in the matter of manual migration, the process can be highly error prone and can even lead to data loss. Analyzing the discrepancies, we have nailed down the limitations of performing a manual migration of calendar entries which will help you to take better decisions.
Limitations of performing a manual migration for calendar entries:
1. The whole process can be truly time-consuming!
With manual migration you can migrate only a single calendar at one point of time. Imagine, if you’re having multiple calendars in your G Suite account for various events/appointments, you’ll have to migrate them separately. This will make the whole process an exhaustive experience!
Unlike the professional migration tools, in manual migration you cannot perform migration at multiple instances. As a result of this you’ll have to repeat the entire process for every individual account that you migrate.
2. Care should be taken while importing the .ics files to Office 365!
One of the major impediments of manual migration is that they can be highly error prone! Since they are performed manually there are chances of having them imported in the wrong account. When a particular calendar entry is imported in an inappropriate account it can lead to a lot of mishaps!
3. Inadequacy to perform customization
If you’re migrating your previous calendar entries to O365 account, its common to look forward for making some changes to it. A manual migration can only allow you to make surface level changes like adding new names and descriptions to your old calendar entries.
You cannot make changes to the settings of the calendar or filter its’ contents while performing a manual migration. As a result of this you’ll be forced to carry all those unwanted schedules to your new O365 atmosphere, which can be precisely daunting.
To sum up…
- Be it a single G Suite account or multiple accounts, performing a manual migration can lead to data loss and data breaches.
- Migrating multiple accounts through manual migration can consume a tremendous amount of time.
- Making the required customization is almost impossible in manual migration.
