Walkthrough - Import from Google Drive

Import from Google Drive is a simple feature for migrating files from Google's file storage and synchronization service to SharePoint. You can migrate a complete folder hierarchy to SharePoint while applying content types and metadata at the same time, and it will convert a file from Google Drive format to Office format.

Prerequisites
