    External Hard drive sharing?


    I'm looking at ordering the Western Digital 4 TB My Book drive. My question is with the Xbox One using Windows 10 and my PC running on 10 would I be able to use the drive back and forth between the two devices? I could really use some extra storage on both
    devices..

    :)

    External Hard drive sharing?

    No, the Xbox One will take over the entire drive, and it will not be able to be used with a PC without reformatting (and losing all the Xbox data).

    Xbox one Seagate 2T not working

    Hi,

    Connect your external storage device to a different USB port
    on your Xbox One console. Check the external hard drive on your computer to see if it is recognized.

    Kindly share the external hard drive model name to proceed further.

    All my profiles were removed from my console after restarting

    This may mean that someone is game sharing with you but if I may ask, do you have an external hard drive plugged into your console? A corrupted hard drive may cause issues.
