I have 2 google accounts. One has my search console, google analytics and similar services. The other has my gmail account.
I need to move my search console to my gmail account.
What's the best/easiest way to do this?

There is no any shortcut as far I know. You've to add new user on all of similar service like Google search console and Google analytics and then remove the old account which you don't want.– GoylloCommented Apr 18, 2019 at 12:35

1I would claim the site for the gmail account using their own form of verification. e.g. file, meta tag, Google Analytics owner, DNS setting.You are given the options and instructions if you select add property from the gmails accounts Google Search Console.– Tony McCreathCommented Apr 19, 2019 at 1:40

Google has upgraded the new UI for Search Console: https://search.google.com/search-console/about
So if you want to transfer the ownership to the new owner, do the followings:
- Log in to your Search console account
- Choose the website and then navigate to Settings -> Users and Permissions -> Add user
- Grant the full permission for the new account.
- After that, you log in to the new account and remove the old owner.

Works perfectly, just made sure I add the account verification by adding an according new TXT-record into the DNS-Settings of the propery's domain (and removed the old one which is thus no longer needed).– DevelJoeCommented May 9 at 19:38
