Captures not showing up in OneDrive (Xbox Series x)

Hello, my name is Tadeu, I am an Independent Consultant and a member of the Microsoft Xbox community, just like you.

I apologize for the issue you are experiencing.

I am here to help.

I hope everything is going well and thank you for contacting me.

I'm sorry you're experiencing this issue.

Please check the steps below.

1 OneDrive sync settings.

Make sure OneDrive on your PC is set to sync automatically, or that syncing is not paused or stopped.

Check the OneDrive settings on your PC to make sure the Automatically save screenshots I take to OneDrive option is enabled.

2 Xbox capture settings.

Make sure your Xbox Series X is set to automatically upload screenshots to OneDrive.

You can check this by going to. Xbox Button > Profile & System > Settings > Preferences > Captures > Settings > Preferences > Auto-Upload > To OneDrive.

Make sure your privacy settings allow uploads to OneDrive.

Please note that this is a public forum only. I will respond as soon as possible, and I apologize in advance for any delay in responding. I'm just a user trying to provide information and knowledge that may be useful to others. I am not a Microsoft employee.

Kind regards Tadeu

Hi. My name is Brilliant, an independent advisor, happy to assist you today.

I’m sorry, but it is not possible to use captures as desktop backgrounds on the Xbox Series X when you are offline. Captures are stored locally on your console and can be uploaded to the Xbox network or OneDrive for online access. However, you can still use your captures as desktop backgrounds when you are online.

I hope this helps.

i have my Onedrive all set up and i had to completely wipe it to get it to function again, but is very unreliable, it has a 1 in 6 chance of actually succeeding in uploading to one drive, once it gets to my Onedrive its all golden from there, but its that connection from any device to the one drive thats an issue

frankly an app specifically just for captures would be best, like strip out all the features from the now defunct Xbox companion app and just jerry rig the captures share system and rebrand it as something like "Xbox Capture Nexus" or something like that, frankly i really dont care, i just want a reliable way to transfer captures between my series X and Windows 11 PC

Hi. My name is Brilliant, an independent advisor. I am happy to assist you today.

To back up your Xbox captures to a different OneDrive account, you can use the “Upload to OneDrive” function. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Launch the “Captures” app on your Xbox console.
2. Select the captures that you want to back up to OneDrive.
3. Choose the “Upload to OneDrive” option from the available actions.
4. Sign in to the OneDrive account where you want to store your captures.
5. Wait for the upload process to complete.

Please note that you can’t upload captures that are recorded to an external drive directly to OneDrive from your console. However, you can copy them to your desired external drive and then upload them to OneDrive from your PC.

I hope this helps.

Set yourself up with a Microsoft OneDrive account (free) here: https://onedrive.live.com/

Then on the XBOX console either manually choose to "share" each clip or capture to OneDrive when you capture them, or in the XBOX settings menus set clips and captures to always automatically share to OneDrive.

Then you can simply go to your OneDrive storage on PC (through your browser, not through the XBOX app) where all your captures will be safe, and save each capture to you want to your hard drive. You can also transfer items from OneDrive to the XBOX using the OneDrive app or file explorer app on the XBOX, which is how you can import images to use as your gamerpics.
