Is there a way to multi Sync, cloud game saves?

Dragonfire1006 · Jul 28, 2020

A.N. I have minor dyslexia and use word. Really wish I didn’t have to type this but there are some people who pull up my grammar as a means to win arguments…

So I’ve been putting something off that I need to get round to. I have over 400 games in my xbox one library across two 8TB external drives. Now recently, (this year, ish) I’m on a series X (my second series
X)

Now I know my game saves are in the cloud, great, however, as mentioned I have a lot of them, (game pass, GwG) and it can take a few hours to manually go through each game, load it and wait for the sync, also
loading to many games on one power cycle can make the Xbox one go funny. Prompting a power cycle.

So is there a way to mass download game saves. Choose an option and leave it running for X amount of hours and go off and do something else. (please no 3rd party suggestions) I’m asking because this will be
my 4th run through all my games just to get all my game saves back and with the Series X on the horizon that I’m planning to pick up mid 2021.

The reason it’ll be my 4th is as follows:-

Console 1 – AW Xbox one 1TB (so much regret with that game)

console retired & sold for upgrade

Console 2 - Xbox one X 1TB

HDD connector failure, un-repairable (it’s funny that I ended up learning about console doctor after I threw out the broken machine.)

Console 3 – Xbox one 500GB, hand me down from mother, she never used it for gaming

it went pop, more specifically, the board went pop due to how my Mother and her husband treated it. kept it on the varnish wooden floor and moped around it repeatedly, also they have corgis so… dog hair. For
a mostly un-used console that stayed there for years and was there Netflix box.

Console 4 - Xbox one S AD, second hand CEX

I have since gone digital and don’t use the game drive much but I soon found a sound issue with the console, after a few months of using the console like this i decided to trade up since if it was my console
then an X should do better, if it was my TV, I was planning to upgrade my TV anyway so…

Console 5 – Xbox one X 1TB, second hand CEX

Currently chippering away on my Console stand with the two drives plugged in it has a 2 year warranty and I plan on getting the series X mid 2021 so if it goes pop I have it covered with CEX.

So yeah, console 2 to 4 I re-downloaded all my game saves on and now I’m thinking about downloading them on to the second series X. is there a Sync all button I’m unaware of? If not, something for the future.

1. local copy

2. one of the features i assume is in the series X will be able to move your game saves to the next gen console via a local network,

3. sometimes, very rarely but sometimes, the cloud sync fails and i lose my game saves, it's good to know if I've lost something ahead of time rather than boot up a game expecting to play were i left off and find myself at square 1. (this has only ever happened
to me twice but still there are some saves i want to make sure i have.)

i just finished syncing all the games i would like to go back on and that's actually given myself and others some options since were all dropping modern Warfare due to hackers and the community.

Why do you have to manually sync every game save? I don't understand the purpose.

so i just realized i pulled this from my Reddit posts so i could ask Microsoft directly, so the A.N. is more aimed at that. sry

Usually when a save is synced to the cloud, then there is no way to get the old save back.

SpiralOut46and2

They are saved both on the console and online, in the Cloud. So if you do a factory reset and loes the saves on the console that are saved locally, his games will sync automatically with the Cloud when he boots a game up so they will retrieve his saves
that way.

Is there a way to multi Sync, cloud game saves?
