"Turn off Storage" meaning?

G'AngeloRene · Sep 15, 2019

Hello once again. I have When the XB is offturn off storage" unchecked for background downloads but I'm unsure how it works. Doesn't it affect my game saves or game syncs? For example if I opened a game, I'll go right ahead and start playing
instead of waiting for a sync load. Does it happen like that when I disable it?

Hello G'Angelo,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. When you turn off storage this means the console will not update or anything while it is off. This doesn't hurt your saves or game syncs. For the game sync if you turn off storage the

cloud save will still upload.

In a hurry to turn off your console?

Don’t worry! You can turn off your console before a game save is uploaded to the cloud. When you turn off your console, your console stays in low power mode until the game save is uploaded to the cloud (that is, as long as the console
has power and is connected to the Internet).

Thanks,

Brad

old post, besides pretty logical, turn off storage means that, turn off storage.

You want standby

Turn off storage means whether it should turn off any drives you have connected via USB

If your cloud storage is enable it will show a green light for 10 seconds before it turns off. Disable cloud storage and youll see what I mean

Hey, thanks for reaching out! Well, firstly, I have plenty of room on all of my drives, soooooooooooooo that is not a factor. I have my Xbox One X set to stand by as my power setting. And I do have my external drives set to turn off when my Xbox is turned
off. The "When Xbox is off, turn off the storage" is chosen in my settings. And I have my default drive as my external WD 4TB. With all that said, my Xbox is not choosing where a file is already sitting. And my
Xbox sees all of my drives all of the time.

I will try the "When Xbox is off, turn off the storage" as unchecked. Maybe that will make a difference . . . but if my default drive is an external drive . . . . and games are downloading there, new and updates . . . . . and "When Xbox is off, turn off
the storage" is checked . . . why would anything still be put there if "When Xbox is off, turn off the storage" it's off . .. . . ? I do understand the instructions, but as to what that means as far as "when xbox is this, external drives will do this" setting
it's hard to differentiate. Because you have the xbox that can be completely shut down vs. stand by, and how does those settings inform the "When Xbox is off, turn off the storage" setting. You tell me.

Thanks
