Can I upload MBOX emails directly to Google Workspace Gmail?

Yes, I also thought there would be a simple option to upload MBOX files directly into Google Workspace Gmail, but unfortunately, Google Workspace does not support direct MBOX uploads. When I tried migrating my old Mozilla Thunderbird emails, I realized Gmail could not detect or open the MBOX file at all.
After trying different methods, I found that the easiest manual solution was to connect my Google Workspace account with Thunderbird using IMAP settings. Then, I imported the MBOX files into Thunderbird through the ImportExportTools NG add-on and moved the emails into the Gmail folders. Thunderbird automatically synced everything with the Google Workspace account.
The process worked, but honestly, it became frustrating due to the large mailbox files, as syncing took a lot of time. Later, I used BLR MBOX Converter Tool, and it made the migration much smoother. It transferred all emails into Google Workspace while keeping attachments, folder structure, and email formatting completely intact.
