Can't access uploaded screenshots and game clips on PC.

Add me to the list of folks who think it's ridiculous that we have to jump through this many hoops to simply access our own XBOX Console screencaps on our own PC. I can see why Microsoft may have wanted to discontinue further support for XBOX Console Companion App. I do not understand why they also needed to disable the pre-existing app.

Please either re-enable the existing app, add the same feature to the XBOX App (on the PC), or give us some other simple mechanism/app. Hint: a USB drive, OneDrive, and phones are NOT that mechanism.

Why is this feature available on my phone, but not the one place it might actually be useful (my PC)? This is exceptionally annoying!



UPDATE: I've recently discovered that, after disabling the only easy way to get screencaps to a PC (XBOX Console Companion), Microsoft is also reducing the amount of time available to do so (to 90 days). Again, I understand why Microsoft is doing this (storage is expensive). However, I don't understand why they won't allow me to directly download screencaps to my PC. Especially, when this capability previously existed.

How to download Xbox one clips to pc? Step-by-step guide

Follow these steps to download Xbox one clips to your pc:

Open your Xbox one and scroll over to the community tab in the menu.

Now select “manage captures”. In this section, you will see all your Xbox one clips that you have saved on your Xbox one device.

Find the clip that you want to save to your pc and click on it.

After selecting that clip, wait for the clip to load. Once the clip loads, press A on it. This will bring up a short menu. Here, you need to click on the share button in the middle.

You can share your clips to Twitter, Club, or OneDrive. To save the clip to your pc or other devices, you need to share it with your OneDrive account.

Hello peachy. The best way to do this, is to use a usb drive or hard drive from xbox, then plug into pc and edit clips.

There is no other way except for one drive.

This only works for me when viewing captures 'On this Xbox console'. If I try and upload clips from the Xbox network to OneDrive it says the upload is complete but nothing actually happens.

How have you taken such a simple process and made it a complete headache. I get using external storage like USB/external HD can do it, but what are we doing here? 2023, and big Microsoft that is known for computers has its users plugging in USBs to transfer game clips from 1 Microsoft device to another Microsoft device.... legit comedy.
