Google Workspaces Gmail

Learn how to connect to a Google Workspace Gmail Account

Introduction

Connecting to Google Workspaces for Mailbox migrations is fast to set up and fully supported in Movebot. Movebot uses the Google API with Delegate API Access.

Currently, we do not support native API connections for personal Gmail. To connect to personal Gmail accounts, use the IMAP connector.

Connecting to Google Workspaces by Delegate access provides access to User Data and Shared Drives in the Google Workspace Domain and full support for migrating Drive content.
