Moving Your Contacts and Calendars from Google to Exchange

Our migration tool should have brought over your Google Contacts and Calendar information.  If it did not, you can export this information manually from Google and import it into your Microsoft account.  Below are step by step instructions:

Contacts


  1. Export from Google by opening Gmail 
  2. Click on your contacts in the left column below the ME logo.
  3. In Contacts, click on "More" which is at the top of your contacts list.
  4. From there, click on "export"
  5. This should bring up an Export box, like the one shown here.
  6. You can select all contacts, or select specific ones you want to move.
  7. Make sure to select your format as "Outlook CSV format"
  8. Click on the "export button.






Import into Outlook
  1. Open MS Outlook
  2. Click on "File"
  3. Click on "Open & Export" 
  4. Click on "Import/Export"
  5. Select "Import from another program or file" and hit "next"
  6. Choose "Comma Separated Value (CSV) and hit next.
  7. Select the CSV file you just created (it's probably in your "downloads" folder).
  8. I recommend selecting the option to replace duplicates with items imported and hit "next."
  9. Select your contacts at the destination and "next"
  10. Hit "finish"


Calendar 

Export from Google:
  1. Open your Google Account again and open calendar
  2. Click on the Gear in the upper right hand corner and select "settings"
















  3. Click on the calendars tab, then select the calendar you want to export.

















  4. Click on "export this calendar"









  5. This will download the calendar into a zip file.
  6. You will want to open the zip file and extract it to save on your computer.

Import into Outlook
  1. The first part of these instructions are the same as importing the contacts above, Open Outlook again and go to "file"
  2. Click on "Open & Export" 
  3. Click on "Import/Export"
  4. Select "Import an icalendar (.ics)" and hit "next"
  5. Select the ICS file you downloaded from Google and unzipped.
  6. Typically, you would import this into your existing calendar.
