As it integrates directly with other Microsoft products, SharePoint is an excellent choice for organizations that plan to or are already using Microsoft software, but moving data from Google to SharePoint is a challenge for some file moving tools.
Not with Movebot. While Google and SharePoint normally have incompatibilities such as file naming and duplication, Movebot can reconcile these differences automatically and move all types of Google drives into SharePoint.

Google allows filenames with almost any special characters and even spaces, however SharePoint (and most other cloud platforms) do not allow these characters. Movebot takes care of filename sanitization on the fly. You can even specify some custom rules to fit your needs.
As a Microsoft product, SharePoint needs files to be in Microsoft Office format to function properly. Fortunately, you don’t need a separate tool for this task as Movebot converts .gdoc, .gsheet, and other Google formats automatically.
Google allows the same filename and folders in its platform, in SharePoint and most other platforms this is not allowed. To make life easier Movebot deduplicates files and folders in the same transfer automatically saving a host of time.
Since both Google and SharePoint have some quirks, Movebot includes some options to ensure all files are moved successfully. Recommended Google and SharePoint options are selected by default but can be changed to suit your needs.
To make sure all your required files migrate from Google to SharePoint, Movebot includes scans at all migration stages. This lets you know what to expect as well as decide if you need to adjust anything before the migration.
Moving between cloud storage shouldn't be complex, and Movebot makes Google to SharePoint migrations simple. Movebot extracts metadata such as creation dates, modification dates, and user information associated with files so users can work in the new SharePoint account right away.
