I would debate this and say it's not that complicated. But I don't have a replacement platform to import into. It doesn't SOUND like it should be difficult. I assume some field mapping will need to occur, as it's doubtful any two platforms will have the same fields entirely. Otherwise - is it really that bad?

It depends on the complexity/hierarchy of the data. If you have multiple tables or levels of nestled data, and the data model is different, it could be very complex.

(I work in a related field, so I’m a bit familiar).

Also, if the replacement platform doesn’t allow for importing the export file and doesn’t allow for write access to their database, then you’ll be limited by whatever imports they do allow for and the rest of the data might not be importable. Manual data entry is likely cost prohibitive and prone to errors.

Which of their product offering will be similar to gsuite legacy ?

I have 2 accounts, 1 legacy on domain a.com, and a G-Suite account on domain b.com

possible to transfer ownership of the legacy account to the other account and merge - and then assign all users the new domain?

I think you're looking for this:

Can confirm that it's not simple. But when I did it there were a bunch of users.

It was a long time ago (switched domains) but I think my biggest takeaway was to make sure your DNS is set up and propagated before you start the migration. But if both of your domains are on gsuite it may already be set.

If you you have a paid account I would hope that their customer support could walk you through it.

And you can send from those addresses too.

Bump

Don't forget Groups which can be set to go to one or many of your users (just make sure to choose the setting that allows external email addresses to post)

The move to gmail is a nice option for those who want it.

Google has really not specified details here, and it's unnerving. For example, I use G-Suite for my family's e-mail, but we also use it to login to all of our google properties. So If I can switch to a gmail account what does that give me? Forwarding of e-mails? Do they transfer all of my files, account settings, etc?

It's all really murky.

I got this email and account banner today (till today I got nothing from Google about it)

stooges44 · « **Reply #35 on:** April 09, 2022, 10:11:32 PM »

I got the same across all my free accounts.

Alexsei · « **Reply #36 on:** April 26, 2022, 08:01:21 PM »

Did anyone try CubeBackup or any other tool to migrate gsuite emails to a regular Gmail account?

chff · « **Reply #37 on:** May 25, 2022, 12:40:39 PM »

possible to split a G suite account that has multiple domains each into its own account?

This is the offer I currently see in my account, it looks like if you choose to upgrade you can save 1 month if you do it on the last day (June 27) I also wonder what the "personal use" option will mean

Alexsei · « **Reply #39 on:** May 31, 2022, 06:23:43 PM »

Addittionaly I wonder if the 50% discount will apply to an unlimited amount of users added during the 12 month period? Or only for the initial user count during the migration?
