No option to download from the cloud.

Currently the option to use the Cloud/remote gaming through the Xbox app is only for Insiders. If you download the Insider Hub on your PC, you can sign up from their to get that option.

Thanks for your interest. On the Win8 machine I have the following set;

Music in the cloud - both set to on : Want music on this machine to be matched and available to other devices

Download - On and off : Would like to have music added to collection from other devices downloaded on this machine, but setting second option to 'on' causes the duplicates.

FYI on the Surface tab:

Music in the cloud: On and off : Shows music matched music for when main PC is switched off/unavailable, but does not match music from this device to the cloud, since it can also reference the share in the main win8 machine.

Downloads: both set to off. This device should just use music from the cloud or from the share.

Hope this helps,

Hey Game King,

Thank you for responding. Unfortunately, not all games give you the option to choose between local and cloud saves. Since the cloud syncing is automatic, there is no way of stopping it from downloading your latest save. For more info feel free to check out

Cloud Saves FAQ.

Which console? Cloud storage only has to be enabled on the 360. On the One/Series S/X it's automatically enabled and will save to the cloud as long as you're signed into Live.

Xcloud is something different then. He would need a Game Pass Ultimate subscription. Then he would use the Game Pass app on his phone to use the Xcloud service.
