As of todays date, you can not merge two Google Accounts .  If you have two Google accounts for whatever reason (in my case I had YouTube and Android/Google Play Store accounts, which now are really just Google Accounts) the best thing to do, according to Google, is to pick a winner and kill the other one.   And if you’re a student you may be interested in a paper writers for hire.

To see what is related to each account click https://accounts.google.com/DeleteAccount and sign in.  It will tell you what you are about to delete.  In my case, my ‘lesser’ account showed hooks into YouTube (and a few others) so I surfed over to YouTube.com, signed in with the ‘lesser’ account and confirmed that there was not a single video in place.

Some students want to merge accounts so they can pull together contents from when they were younger and use different YouTube accounts.  Others just want to order essay type solutions but today it still can’t be done.

In case you think I am mistaken, take it from Google Directly:

It isn’t currently possible to merge separate Google Accounts. However, if you’d like transfer your data from one account to another, this may be done on a per product basis. Or, to start using a new product, you don’t have to create another Google Account. Just sign in with your existing Google Account, and visit this list of products to get started.

For any other product, transferring product information is currently unavailable.

I’ve been trying to enable Adsense after having lots of trouble with getting two different accounts merged into one, and your post really helped me get things sorted. My blogger account has been changed, so now I’m only left with sorting out my YouTube account. Wish me luck!

I have a learning disability and didn’t know this till I got new tablet. I don’t see why you can’t combine one game real racing 3 n one? That about only game I play. If one is on one tablet and other on another can I do that?

I got an up grade tablet and now I have 2 accounts that I have purchased books on both accounts. How can I merge the two or at least be able to read from each one?

    It is a messy situation when you have two Google Accounts. For most people the best solution is to pick the one that contains the most data and walk away from the other one as Google does not have an official merge process (beyond what I documented above).

      Are there step by step instructions on how to transfer Youtube data from on Google account to another one? It says that you can but doesn’t explain how to do it.

        I am sorry to say that to my knowledge that is not possible 🙁

So ridiculous. I also have two play accounts, with purchased apps on both accounts. There is no way I am repurchasing any apps.

Google has dropped the ball on this one. Makes Apple’s store look so much more appealing. At least with Apple, I use the ID Cloud.

Pull your head out of your ass Google and stop screwing users around.
