Transforming data, between 2 different tenants on G Suite and Office 365 leads to data loss.
Some data are lost because the contact could not recognize the data from the source.
The GALSync product takes users and groups from the source and transforms them into a new source contact.
Here is how the data is transformed from one object to another :

Specific case: Guest users
There are restrictions on Microsoft side on updating guest users depending on it’s role:
Updating a user’s businessPhones, mobilePhone, or otherMails property is only allowed on users who are non-administrators or assigned with one of the following roles: Directory Readers, Guest Inviter, Message Center Reader, and Reports Reader.
So we don’t alter those fields in this specific case.
