How can we improve the tenant admin features O365?

← Office 365 Admin

Allow the ability to merge Office 365 accounts seamlessly

Allow two 365 accounts to be merged without having to rebuild email accounts, move files etc... just move the domain from one 365 account to another after proper verification -- or even by just calling Microsoft support

    I work for a large company and have an Office 365 account with share point drive that I need to access however work for a client full-time that has it's own 365 that I share with direct reports from that company. having to sign out of one and into another is inconvenient. The ability to access the two seamlessly would be very nice. I have been able to load each e-mail on the other's Office account which is very nice.

    I am an employee for a consulting company that has a large contract with a major corporation. I have 2 separate Skype Business accounts - one with each my company and the client. I would like to seemlessly be able to IM individuals in each company, but it is currently not possible to do so as I can only be logged into ONE Skype account at a time. Please address this issue as it is not unique to me!

    A problem emerges among families and individuals, somehow multiple accounts are made. whether with office 365, amazon accounts, etc. the ability to merge accounts and somehow control what content is being sync or destroyed would be amazing

    I would very much like to see this ability added at some point. It doesn't matter if it is a bit complicated to set up (even "by just calling Microsoft support" as suggested would be fine), as long as it works once set up. I work in a biggish corporation that hasn't adopted O365 and SharePoint Online yet fully, so my team has set up a "shadow team site" and bought our own subscription that we use. However, since the rest of the corporation is lagging behind without O365, we are constantly signing in and out of services! We sign in to our workstation with the corporate account, and the ability to jump between different O365 sites/apps would ease the team's daily work humongously! Also, I didn't yet mention, but our Customers also use O365 and they've of course setup their own O365 sites with their own AD accounts and given us access via a new AD account with the prefix "external", so a team member in my team might have to use 1 corporate account, 1 team account, 0-4 customer accounts daily, and every freaking time needs to sign out and in and it soon becomes a chaos that counters any possible benefits that O365 might otherwise have to offer - and thus, people fall back to the "traditional" work methods, and send those 10 megabyte Word attachments and Powerpoints in legacy email apps, and stop using O365 because of the pain of overhead work is just too much.

    I bout a url that was far too long for practical purposes and since started a new Office 365 mail account. I now have two and it isn't currently possible to merge them.

    Why is this not possible?

    You can forward other mail EXCEPT for other Office 365 mail accounts.

    That seems counter-intuitive.

    Someone please help with a workaround for this.

    I am changing jobs and need to use my old emails and contacts. It would be extremely helpful to seamlessly merge two accounts.

    I created a personal account to use for my work but then my company upgraded to 365 and now I have documents and information in each account I'd like to combine.
    As it is, it is ridiculously annoying having two separate accounts. agghhh

    I am the email administrator for a college. We generate usernames based on the student's last name, which can change. When we rename the user account in our on-premise systems, a new o365 account is created for the student and deletes the old mailbox. We need a better way to combine the email from the old account into the new account.

    Hello, my University account will not let me utilize all of the functions of 365, so I purchased a student package and now have two accounts. Can you please allow me the ability to merge the two? Thank you!

    i have a personal account and university account, both with the same email address, and need to merge them.

    I have and paid for 2 Microsoft accounts, it seems ridiculous that I can not merge the two

    i had a personal account for free when i bought my computer but now I have free access as a student. It's ridiculous you can't merge 2 accounts. it's useless to use onedrive as i can't be sure which account i'm saving documents to.
