    "No files found" when connecting External 2TB HDD


    Hey guys,

    I've been trying to connect my Western Digital 2TB external HDD to my Xbox One and it recognises it immediately. It allows me to select whether I want to use it as a media device or as an external storage for games. I've selected I wanted to use it as a
    media storage and once I've done this it then allows me to access the external HDD. Once in the HDD I can see all the folders that I've got but once I go in to the folders I'm met with the "No files found" message when there are most definitely plenty of files
    in the folders. Any one got any ideas why this might be or if there are any work arounds?

    Thanks for any help!



    :)

    Xbox unable to read media files beyond 2TB in 4TB external HDD

    I have a 4TB external HDD plugged onto my xbox one (1TB with 80GB space left). My external HDD is filled up with approx 2TB data. Now the new video files that i add on the external hdd is not being detected by any of the video players in xbox but they are
    readable from my PC. The existing video files work fine in the xbox. How to fix the issue?

    EXTERNAL HDD UPDATE/ movies and music

    I bought a new WD 2TB USB3 HDD. Plugged it into my XBone and formatted it, but when I plugged it into my PC I could not add any type of files to it. Will we not be able watch movies or listen to music from our external hdd like we could on 360???

    Thanks for reaching out, MrCheekyMonkey!

    To clarify, what are the file types for the files on the drive? Not all fie types would be recognized by the system. There's more info on what file types are compatible in the
    Media Player FAQ

    Can I make my 360's 2TB External HDD its System Drive?

    1. Have console connected to Xbox Live to update online gamertag profile. (May need to play and save game to update online gamertag profile or add any recent achievements) 2. Carefully transfer all save data to 2TB external drive. 3. Follow support link
    http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/accessories/add-remove-hard-drive to remove Internal HDD 4. Turn on console with external 2TB HDD connected, and without being logged into Xbox Live; Press Guide Button on controller, and download your gamertag profile
    to external HDD. (Make sure your gamertag profile is working online, by checking to see if save data can be used on external HDD for games, as new System File should be created to external HDD) 5. Follow step 3 to install Internal HDD, and restart console
    with external HDD connected. 6. Follow support link http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/accessories/storage to format Internal HDD (You will need access to back of console for console serial number) Note: If, System File or Gamertag Profile is created to
    Internal HDD, after format; Just delete them, after you confirm that they are safely stored to External HDD etc.

    Xbox 360

    Yes, you can connect 2 external HDD to your 360, up to a maximum of 2TB each.

    Maximum external hard drive size?

    The 360 can use up to 2TB on an external HDD, and you can have up to 2 connected at a time.

    memory?

    There will be an update eventually to support External HDD. We just gotta be alittle more patient. Personally I recommend when it does happen to but 1TB+ External HDD. I plan on buying a 2TB just in case.
