Import PST to Google Workspace Using GWMMO<\/h2>\n<p>If you are an individual user and want to import PST to Google Workspace, then Google has it&#8217;s own migration tool named as <strong>Google Workspace Migration for Microsoft Outlook (GWMMO)<\/strong>. It imports data from a PST file via Outlook mailbox to your Google Workspace account.<\/p>\n<p>This method is useful for users who are looking to transfer a single mailbox or a few PST files. However, you must have Microsoft Outlook installed on your computer and it will take some time to import PST files to your Google Workspace mailbox using this method.<\/p>\n<div class=\"red-border\">\n<p><strong>What is GWMMO?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>GWMMO (Google Workspace Migration for Microsoft Outlook) is a free Google migration tool. It allows the users to import Outlook data (emails, contacts, calendars, notes, and tasks) from a PST file to the Google Workspace mailbox.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Steps to Move PST File to Google Workspace Using GWMMO<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Step 1.<\/strong> Download Google Workspace Migration for Microsoft Outlook (GWMMO) from the Google official website and install it on your Windows computer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2.<\/strong> Open the app and log in with the Google Workspace account.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3.<\/strong> Tap on<strong> Browse<\/strong> and load your Outlook PST file and select it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4.<\/strong> GWMMO supports multiple Outlook data migration, so choose your data such as emails, contacts, calendars etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5.<\/strong> Click Migrate to start importing the PST file to your Google Workspace account.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 6.<\/strong> Once migration is complete, sign in to your Google Workspace account and check that your folders and messages are transferred.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When should you use GWMMO?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Choose GWMMO if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You are migrating one Outlook mailbox.<\/li>\n<li>Have Microsoft Outlook installed.<\/li>\n<li>You want to use the official migration solution from Google.<\/li>\n<li>No complex migration steps required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"method2\">\n<h3>Method 2. Migrate PST to Google Workspace Using GWMME (For Admins)<\/h3>\n<p>Google Workspace Migration for Microsoft Exchange (GWMME) is Google\u2019s official migration tool for enterprise such as IT administrators who want to migrate multiple Outlook mailboxes. GWMME is designed for admins who need to migrate data of multiple users not just one like in GWMMO which is suitable for only one user at a time. With GWMME you can import multiple PST files and put them into multiple Google Workspace accounts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"red-border\">\n<p><strong>What is GWMME?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Google Workspace Migration for Microsoft Exchange (GWMME) is a migration tool which Google built for admins, and it\u2019s free. It allows you to bulk migrate Outlook data to Google Workspace user accounts from PST files.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Step 1.<\/strong> Install Google Workspace Migration for Microsoft Exchange (GWMME) on your Windows computer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2.<\/strong> Install it and launch it and sign in with your administrator account. Now, the application will request permission to access your Google Workspace. Please allow the required permissions to continue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3.<\/strong> Now, you have to prepare a CSV file that consists of details of PST file associated with a particular Google Workspace user.<\/p>\n<p>Your CSV file must include information like;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>User email address<\/li>\n<li>PST file location<\/li>\n<li>Migration settings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once done, save the CSV file.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4.<\/strong> Now, add the CSV file to GWMME. First, browse the CSV file, validate entries then confirm that every PST file is correctly arranged to its destination. Check for errors, fix them if there are any, then move on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5.<\/strong> Next, choose the mailbox data you want to migrate. Depending on your migration plan you can add, email, contacts, calendar, tasks, notes.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you check your settings carefully before starting the migration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 6.<\/strong> Click Migrate to start importing the PST files to Google Workspace.<\/p>\n<p>Wait for a while, the migration has been started. The duration depends on number of .pst files you have, mailbox size, internet connection etc.<\/p>\n<p>Once the migration is complete, sign in to your Google Workspace account and check for the migrated folders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"method3\">\n<h3>Method 3.

Does Google Workspace support PST files?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> No. PST files are not supported directly by Google Workspace. You must first migrate the PST data using any migration method such as GWMMO, GWMME or any compatible PST migration tool.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Is there a free way to import PST to Google Workspace?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Yes, Google offers GWMMO to individual users and GWMME to administrators at no cost. However, both methods require complex setup and may not be suitable for every user. As, every users&#8217; needs vary from person to person.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. What&#8217;s the difference between GWMMO and GWMME?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> The basic difference between two of them is that GWMMO is for individual users and GWMME is for admin users. GWMMO generally requires Microsoft Outlook and GWMME is intended for administrators who wish to migrate multiple users and PST files within an organization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Can I migrate password-protected PST files?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> It&#8217;s possible with manual methods if you know the password. However, if you have forgotten the password of your PST file and you want to migrate it into your Google Workspace account, then some migration tools can import password protected PST files while others require you to unlock the file before importing it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. How long does it take to import a PST file?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> The time taking to import your PST file into Google Workspace account depends on the size of the PST file, the number of mailbox items, your internet connection and other factors.<br \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"Does Google Workspace support PST files?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"No. Google Workspace does not support PST files directly.
