Solved: Google Workspace Email Migration to Google Groups - Page 2

Our organization is in the process of migrating our shared email accounts to Google Groups to increase security and efficiency in responding to emails. Due to a recent migration to SSO, shared gmail acocuts are no longer a viable option for our organization. After a chat with Google Support, there is currently no way to migrate email (and labels) from a Workspace Gmail account to a Google Groups collaborative inbox.

We are in urgent need of a workaround for this issue. Allowing migration assistant or GWMME to migrate to Google Groups accounts would be the best solution.

Hi @tykel_ :

You can do this with the free, open-source, command line "Got Your Back" (GYB) tool, created by Jay Lee who also created the more-well-known GAM tool that's an indispensable tool for managing Google Workspace. See https://github.com/jay0lee/got-your-back/wiki for more details on GYB, and specifically https://github.com/jay0lee/got-your-back/wiki#--action-restore-group for how you'd restore messages to a group (after using GYB to back them up from an account). There's also a pretty active Google Group to ask any questions about GYB--see https://groups.google.com/g/got-your-back/about for info and to subscribe.

Hope that helps,

Ian
