How to transfer saved games from my xbox360 storage device between two accounts?

Hi, my name is Annanda, thank you for your question and for reaching out.

No data can or should be transferred between different accounts, okay?

Another thread talks about this regard. There, there is a user that mentions a way to do it, but it does not seem to be ideal, since there is no certainty that it will work for every game, and if it works, it will not be able to acquire achievements, okay?

There the user mentions:

" Despite what was mentioned above it can be possible to swap saves between profiles. However, it will depend on the game and you are unable to gain achievements while using the copied save.

I'll describe how to do it using a game I know it works on, Mass Effect.

Sign in with the account you want the save copied to. Then go to My Xbox and scroll to the end and pick System Settings. Now pick Memory and on the new screen the device the save is saved on.

Now choose games and scroll until you find the game, Mass Effect in our example, and enter the folder by pressing A.

Find the save you want copied and press A. You'll now be presented with three options but we only want the first, Copy.

Press A on Copy and choose to save it to the same location.

Now if the game allows the save to be copied you will have a new save created belonging to the new profile. Remember though that you won't be able to gain achievements by using that save, so your girlfriend will have to decide if she wants achievements or to retain her progress. "

Also in another comment they mention:

" Here is a direct quote when you select a save not your own "By copying or moving this item, you will become the new owner. If you are not already the owner, you will not be able to earn achievements for gameplay using this item." "

Unfortunately, the user account is inactive so i do not know who gave this tip, but credits go to who posted this.

Again, no data should be able to be transferred from one account to another, okay? So I cannot guarantee the veracity of the information provided by the other user, but since it does not have any other way, it might be worth a shot at least.

Keep in mind that if this become possible, the achievements cannot be acquired, okay?

I hope you understand

If you give a quick search, you can also find some other methods, but they are not official so i cannot recommend them, okay? And it may need a PC.

I don't really mind about the achievements, I just want to keep my world because I put so much time into it.

[quote user="OIBND"]I recovered my gamertag and my Cloud save file.[/quote]Recover is no longer the term to use. Your profile can be downloaded to multiple consoles. Same goes for Cloud Storage, however Cloud Storage save files do not "sync" until you try
playing the game associated with the save files on the "new" console.

So I want to transfer my data to the new HDD from the old HDD but I am worried about mixing saved files.

Why? HDD storage and Cloud Storage are two different things.

To manually copy save game files via the data migration cable, attach the cable and drive, then cancel all the transfer dialogs. Go back into System Settings, Memory, and you'll see a Transfer Cable device. You can Copy/Move content to/from the Transfer
Cable device just as you do with any other storage device. Manually copy over the files you want from the old HDD to the new HDD or to Cloud Storage.

Hello,

Use only the Xbox 360 Transfer Cable to move your content. Microsoft does not license, support, or guarantee the functioning of cables made by other manufacturers.

You can copy and move content like saved games, profiles, and avatar items between different Xbox 360 storage devices. You can also delete content from a storage device. Here’s how.
