Question about XB1 Cloud Saves

RemoTheTurk · Sep 15, 2014

Is there any way to disable automatic cloud syncing with saves?

In other words, are we able to manually upload/download saves to the cloud?

If not, what is the refresh interval for the cloud sync for the game saves?

:)

Cloud saves on the XB1 are automatic.

why did I spend my hard earned money to buy a system and games that won't save

The Xbox One automatically saves games to the cloud while you are connected to the internet. Game progress will be saved in the cloud storage of the account currently logged in.

I should also disclose that my system is participating in the Update Preview Program, so if any one knows a way around it (if it's located within the preview update), that would be much appreciated.

There is no way to disable the automatic syncing with the cloud. Also there is no way to have it synced manually.

Afaik savegames are uploaded to the cloud in the background when you reach a control point in your game or better said, when the savegame is saved by the game.

The resyncing is done everytime you start a game. The one then checks if the savegame in the cloud is newer than the local stored one. If so, it will be downloaded automatically. If the local stored one is newer you will be prompted.

Have you activated or checked out your xb1 cloud storage? ( or activated it on your 360 ) try to play a game and save to cloud on it as a test, then you can delete it, then try the xb1 again see if that works for your saves..
