For Microsoft 365, you usually start by setting up Azure AD Connect. It allows you to sync your on-premises LDAP directory with Azure Active Directory. You'll need to install Azure AD Connect on a server that's part of your domain. Just make sure you choose the right sync options based on how you want the data to flow between LDAP and Microsoft 365. Go through the configuration steps, and you'll be good to go.
For Google Workspace, it's a little different. You would set up the Google Cloud Directory Sync (GCDS) tool. After you install GCDS, you configure it to talk to your LDAP server. You'll set up userAccountSync settings to pull the users and groups you need from LDAP. You might have to adjust a few settings in the Google Admin Console and allow some permissions for GCDS to do its thing smoothly.
I recommend testing everything in a dev environment first if you can, just to make sure the sync works as expected before rolling it out everywhere. And keep an eye on the logs-those can really help identify issues if something goes sideways.
