Google Workspace and iCloud Overview

Before we go to the solutions on how to migrate Google Workspace to iCloud for emails, let’s first have a brief introduction of Google Workspace vs iCloud.

Google Workspace, formerly known as G Suite, is a powerful cloud-based productivity that Google developed. It includes applications such as Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Calendar, and others. Applications like Gmail and Google Drive can integrate together seamlessly on Google Workspace to improve your work efficiency.

iCloud is Apple's cloud-based service offering features to help users store, sync, and share data across their Apple devices. It seamlessly integrates with macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, providing a cohesive and streamlined user experience. iCloud includes applications like Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and more.

Why Migrate Google Workspace to iCloud?

Google Workspace and iCloud are two prominent cloud-based productivity suites that offer a range of features to enhance productivity. If you find yourself drawn to Apple’s simplicity and integration but now you are using Google Workspace for daily work, you may come up with an idea to migrate from Google Workspace to iCloud. So, what benefits can this migration bring to us? There are 3 advantages below:

Migrate Google Workspace to iCloud via MultCloud [Email & File]

Since Google Workspace includes various services like Gmail and Google Drive, you may want to separately migrate these data to iCloud. In this regard, MultCloud is recommended to you for automatic and fast migration. MultCloud is devoted to managing multiple clouds with one app and offers professional cloud transfer functions. To migrate Google Workspace to iCloud, you can use Cloud Transfer and Email Migration.

Migrate Google Workspace to iCloud via Google Takeout

Google Takeout is a service provided by Google that allows users to export and download their data from various Google products, such as Gmail, Google Drive, and YouTube. It supports directly transferring data to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Box. But to migrate emails from Google Workspace to iCloud, you need to download the Gmail emails and import them to iCloud instead.

Step 1: Enter Google Takeout and click the “Deselect all” button. Then scroll down the page to find “Mail” and tick the box beside it. If you want to export other data from Google Workspace, then tick them.

Step 2: Continue scrolling down the page to find “Next step” and click on it.

Step 3: Extend the Destination menu and click “Send download link via email”. Then you can adjust the export frequency and File type & size in terms of your preference.
