Browse and select the PST file that you converted from the OST file.
Choose Migration Options:
Configure migration options, including what data to migrate (emails, contacts, calendar, etc.) and the date range.
Start Migration:
Click "Start" or "Migrate" to begin the migration process.
Monitor Progress:
The tool will show the progress of the migration. Depending on the size of your PST file and your internet connection, this process may take some time.
Verify Imported Data:
Once the migration is complete, log in to your Gmail account and verify that the imported data, including emails, contacts, and calendar entries, is available.
