This is only possible if one of the accounts is a paid for Business account. You need to link them via the article already linked (see here).
However, this ONLY works if one is a paid business one - if both are business OR paid accounts but not a business one it doesn't work. By that I mean if you are a part of 2 paid for Business plans you cannot link and if you have 2 Essentials or Plus plans you cannot do it.
