Migrating Gmail to icloud manually involves several steps. First, you need to set up your iCloud account on your device, then export Gmail emails via Google Takeout. Once downloaded, you’ll have to import the email files (in MBOX format) into your iCloud email by using third-party tools, as iCloud does not natively support MBOX. This manual process can be time-consuming and technical, with potential challenges such as file compatibility issues, data loss during transfer, and managing large files.


To make the process easier, using Cigati Gmail Backup Tool is highly recommended. This tool automates the migration, ensuring a seamless transfer of emails, attachments, and folders from Gmail to iCloud with just a few clicks. It eliminates the risk of errors, speeds up the process, and ensures that no data is lost during the migration, making it a reliable and efficient solution.
