Yet even Google itself lacks import capabilities, even for the very portable export formats they generate. And this is understandable, because en masse imports are undoubtedly a security issue.
As for OneDrive and Outlook exports, if only there were a way to synchronize data to a client. Oh well.

And this is understandable, because en masse imports are undoubtedly a security issue. Depends... Under their POV, why would anyone want to import stuff to a Google account en masse if they already have it on their "original" acc? > As for OneDrive and Outlook exports, if only there were a way to synchronize data to a client. Oh well. There are OneDrive clients for Windows, Android (and I guess Apple systems too), but it's still less convenient than downloading a single ZIP. Using the official client means I need to copy the stuff to my local drive first, and then compress it if I want to store it in a more efficient way.
- NoZebra120vClip 3y ago> why would anyone want to import stuff to a Google account I have 3 personal Google accounts, and that doesn't count my work and school Google accounts. It is conceivable that I'd want to move at least a few things around among them. Also, it is conceivable that someone could write up a utility that prepped arbitrary types of data for import into an arbitrary Google property. Whether it's JSON or XML or whatever, I could see there being use cases for importing data that has not yet been in a Google account at all.
