Everything about moving your OneNote to Google: getting started, your move, companies, pricing and security.
Getting started
What you need, and your first move step by step.
The Microsoft account your notebooks are in, and the Google account whose Drive they should go to. Nothing to install.
Sign in with Google, then connect OneNote by signing in with Microsoft. Tick your notebooks, pick a layout and a folder, check the preview, and press Start.
No. Any Google account works. Your notebooks go into that account's Google Drive.
Yes. The free trial moves one notebook, up to 3 pages, so you can see the result in Google Docs.
Notebooks in your OneDrive. Notebooks on SharePoint team sites or in Microsoft 365 groups aren't supported yet.
No. We only read your notebooks, so everything stays in OneNote exactly as it is. Keep using it until you're ready.
Moving your notebooks
What moves, where it goes, and how long it takes.
Yes. Pick any folder in My Drive or inside a shared drive, and see a preview of the folders and Docs first.
They stay in OneNote, because Microsoft doesn't share them with other apps. Everything else on the page moves.
It depends on how many pages you have, because Microsoft limits how fast any app can read notebooks. You can close the page; the move keeps going.
A Doc for each page suits long notes. One Doc per section, with pages as tabs, suits sections of short pages. The preview shows both before anything is made.
Into an Assets folder next to the notebook's Docs in Google Drive, with a link to each file inside the page's Google Doc.
They're pointed at the new Google Docs once every page has moved, so they open in Google, not OneNote.
Yes. Pause at a safe point and carry on later, or cancel and keep what has already moved.
Yes. Pages that already moved are skipped, so nothing is copied twice, unless you choose to make new copies.
Fixing problems
Most problems fix themselves, or take one click.
Sign in to Microsoft or Google again from the migration. The move carries on where it stopped.
Every page is checked after it moves. If one doesn't arrive, your report says why, and you can try it again in one click.
It's password-protected, so we can't open it. Remove the password in OneNote, then move that section again.
Microsoft limits how fast apps can read notebooks. You can close the page; the move keeps going and the progress page shows where it is.
It points to a page that wasn't part of the move. Move that notebook too, and the link is updated.
Tick your notebooks in the app; the review step shows the total before you start or pay.
For companies
Moving everyone's notebooks, and what each person does.
One thing: open the link in their invite and sign in with Microsoft and Google. Their notebooks then move on their own.
Into each person's own Google Drive, owned by them. Nothing is copied into the admin's Drive.
You do, from your own Gmail, so people recognise the sender. You can also copy each person's link and send it yourself.
Yes. The Team page shows who hasn't joined, and you can send them a reminder from your Gmail in one click.
$12 per person, or $9 per person above 50 people, with no page limit. The minimum is 10 people.
Their move pauses safely and the Team page shows them under Needs attention. They sign in again and it carries on.
No. They open a link and sign in with the Microsoft and Google accounts they already use every day.
Pricing and payment
What it costs and what counts as a page.
No. You pay once for a move. There's nothing to cancel afterwards.
One notebook, up to 3 pages. Pick the notebook whose content you most want to see.
Each OneNote page you move, including subpages. Sections and notebooks are free.
Choose the next plan up. Unlimited has no page limit at all.
$12 per person, or $9 per person above 50 people, with no page limit. The minimum is 10 people.
Security and privacy
What we can see, what we keep, and how to remove it.
No. Pages pass through our servers on their way to Google. We keep page names and results so we can show your progress and your report.
No. The Microsoft permission we use only reads notebooks.
No. Google only lets us open the files we create for you.
On Google Cloud, in the United States.
No. We use it only to move your notebooks and show you the result.
Delete a migration's record in the app, or write to us and we'll delete everything we hold about you.
