    My add-on storage won’t download games


    I recently purchased a 2 TB Seagate game drive for Xbox. My Xbox one S will initially detect the storage; however, it will not maintain a secure connection. Additionally, the external storage drive will not download a game and will proceed to spam notifications reading “your storage drive is ready.” I have tried the troubleshooting measures the Microsoft website provides. What is the best solution to this issue?

    :)

    My add-on storage won’t download games

    Hi there! This is Ronnie, an independent advisor.

    Nice to meet you and I hope you are having a great day!

    I understand you need help on your storage problem.

    Have you already tried using a different external storage device? As the one you are using right now might be having some issues for some reason.

    Or try using another cord for the device and see how it goes. Try other USB ports as well too.

    To determine whether the problem is the storage device or not, it would be better to test this on other consoles or try a different hard drive because if this is already a failure on the drive, I would already suggest having this replaced if you just bought this.

    That didn’t change anything. Decided to try and reinstall the game to see if that fixes the issue. Also, won’t download the add-ons til the main game is installed.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    puchasing new games for xbox360

    Just to add to my earlier answer:

    If you do not see the download in progress, look for it in your storage devices. Go to Settings/System/Storage/All Devices/Games&Apps/Minecraft and see if it is there.

    If not, go back to Settings and instead go to Account then Download History, choose Minecraft and press A to download again. It will then be placed in the Queue, which you can find using steps I mentioned earlier.

    If it is in your storage device, from the Dashboard go to Games/My Games and look for it there. Then just press A to launch it.

    Downloading a game straight to an external drive?

    When I tried downloading one of my old arcade games from my DL history, there was no option to change the storage device as far as I could see. But there is another way to do it.

    1. Choose something to download from the Xbox 360 Store (something free like a demo).

    2. Add what you really want to download to your queue.

    3. Go to your downloads queue. Select the second item that should be still pending. Follow the information on the screen to change the download storage device.

    4. Cancel the first download.

    When the first download is cancelled, the second item begins to download and since you changed the storage location, it will now download to there instead of the default storage device.
