Although Outlook is unable to export OST files to Gmail directly, Software FixVare OST to Gmail Migratorsimplifies and secures the operation. This clever solution eliminates the need for Outlook or Exchange Server by enabling users to upload OST data such as emails, contacts, calendars and attachments, directly to their Gmail account. During migrating, it maintains metadata, folder structure and email formatting. Users can apply filters for selective transfer, import one or more OST files at once. You can swiftly and securely transfer all of your offline Outlook mailbox data to Gmail using the Importer, ensuring full accuracy and data integrity.
You can export your OST files to Gmail either manually or automatically.
Manually follow these steps, which I have used for fewer OST file conversions:
Open Microsoft Outlook and go to file > open & export > import/export.
Choose import from another program or file > Outlook data file.
Then, browse and select your files and choose the option to import items into the same folder in your Gmail account.
On the other hand, you can use an automated converter which are paid. The limitations of this method are that you cannot bulk export, no preservation of metadata, and risk of data loss and corruption. That is the reason users opt for automated tools.
