Save games to xbox 360 cloud

Xbox cloud storage also acts as a backup should your console give up the ghost, making it a decent gaming alternative to our best online backup providers. Read our article on the difference between storage and backup if you want to know more about the concepts involved. Your Xbox One will automatically give you access to the cloud as long as you have an Xbox Live account and you are online.

Although the Xbox One accounts for the extra space out of the box, the Xbox does require MB of free storage to start using the cloud. All Xbox Live accounts will get access to enough cloud storage to hold your game saves. The Xbox One automatically syncs the local and cloud saves when you exit a game. However, if the two files become desynced — a result of playing on a different console, playing offline or having a corrupt save — it will ask which one you want to use the next time you boot up the game.

Note that your save is cached locally while playing, then moved to the cloud when you exit the game. Even if you turn off your console, it will only shut down once the saved files are safely in the cloud. Proper management will allow you to continue playing your game the way you want. Plus, using cloud storage should help you avoid mishaps, such as unintentional deletion or power loss. In short, Xbox One users get unlimited cloud storage for saved files.

After that, every time you sign in to your profile and play the game, it will be saved to the cloud.

Plus, you can move, copy or delete saved games in the cloud as if you had stored them locally. To learn more about that option, click here. On the new console, sign in to your Xbox Live profile. Open up the game you want to play and it should immediately sync your saved data.

Press the Xbox button to open the guide. The first option is to move saved games out of the cloud in the same way as before, then turn off cloud saves. The second option is to keep saved games in the cloud and turn off cloud saves for a single console. There will be a prompt asking you to confirm that you want your saved games to remain in the cloud and for your console to stop syncing with any future updates to the file.

Like with all software, using cloud storage with Xbox might throw you an error. Below are the most common errors, as well as some easy fixes. This means the game is not designed to be saved on the Xbox Live servers. Your only choice is to use the local cache. Look for a problem on your end. After tracking down your Xbox and booting it up for what's likely the first time in a while, head on over to the Settings menu.

From there, go into the System category and then choose Storage. From there, you should be able to view all of the games and saves on your console's hard drive. Once you are on the aforementioned menu, choose the storage device that most of your saves are on.

Xbox models typically have 8 to Gigabytes of storage internally, but also support expandable storage. Check whatever storage you have on your system and find the game saves, and click on whichever backward compatible Xbox game you're looking to retrieve save files from.

From there, click the "Move" option and then "Cloud Saved Games" after that. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.
