Options to transfer data between G Suite accounts

As an administrator, if you create a new G Suite account for your organization, you can transfer your users' data from the current account to the new one. Or, maybe your organization has several G Suite accounts and you want to merge the data into one account. In some cases, you can transfer the users' data—email, calendars, documents, sites, and more. In other cases, users need to move their own data.

	Ways to transfer data to a new G Suite account
Email	Use the Admin console—You can use the data migration service to transfer email. You do everything in the Google Admin console. Use a migration tool—You can use the GSMME tool to transfer email from your old G Suite account. The tool requires some technical knowledge, and you need to install it first. Learn more about GSMME. Let users transfer their own email—Your users can use Mail Fetcher to transfer email from their old Gmail account. To use Mail Fetcher, you must first turn on IMAP access in the Admin console.

Contacts	Your users can export their Google contacts to a CSV file. Then, use the file to transfer contacts to their new account. See Export and back up contacts.
Calendars	Transfer ownership of calendars—You can transfer calendars you own to another owner in your new G Suite account. See Transfer Google calendars or events.

Drive	Use the API—To export and import documents, use the Drive REST API. Download a Drive file—Using Google Drive, your users can download a file (or multiple files) to their computer.
