I Need To Combine Two Different OneDrive Accounts: Two Accounts, 2 Different Email Addresses ...

My issue is hopefully strait-forward in the Title field ... But I will provide more detail here below:

I have at least two separate OneDrive Accounts.

They need to be combined - the second into the first.
Once completed, anything at all associated with the gmail email address should be identified as such, and moved to the account associated with the pm.me email address - any services, subscriptions, memberships, etc.

The Two Email Addresses:

The first Account is associated with the email address: ******@pm.me (THIS IS THE ONE WE WANT TO KEEP);

The second is associated with the email address: ******@gmail.com (THIS IS THE ONE WE WANT INFORMATION TRANSFERRED FROM TO THE ACCOUNT ASSOCIATED WITH THE EMAIL ADDRESS ABOVE).

 ***Once the information has been transferred, this Account needs to be closed, permanently.***

Thank You & Best Regards.
Jason D. Stockdale, MA

Email: ******@pm.me

    Microsoft personal and Microsoft 365 work or school accounts, including their OneDrive storage, cannot be merged or combined into a single account. The same applies to two separate Microsoft personal accounts: they cannot be linked, merged, or combined into one, and data such as purchases, subscriptions, or stored files cannot be automatically transferred between them.

    For OneDrive specifically, storage for each account remains separate. It is possible to sign in to both accounts side by side and manually move or copy content:

    1. Sign in to OneDrive with the account to keep (the pm.me address).
    2. In a separate browser window or OneDrive client session, sign in with the account to retire (the gmail.com address).
    3. Manually copy or drag and drop files and folders from the OneDrive associated with the gmail.com account into the OneDrive associated with the pm.me account. This preserves the files but does not merge the accounts.
    4. After confirming that all needed files and data have been copied and that no services still rely on the gmail.com account, the gmail.com Microsoft account can be closed separately. Closing the account does not transfer any remaining data, so all needed content must be moved beforehand.

    Email addresses already associated with an existing Microsoft account cannot be added as aliases to another Microsoft account, and existing Outlook.com-style addresses cannot be moved between accounts. Subscriptions are also tied to the specific Microsoft account and cannot be merged; they must be managed or canceled separately under each account.
