Unable to view my onedrive files from xbox

Arjun R - · Jul 1, 2022

Hi Experts,

I have a bunch of movies and songs in my onedrive storage which i would love to listen from my xbox. I know this is such a trivial thing, but i have grown to expect from microsoft that such a basic feature should be available natively. Especially given that both xbox and onedrive are microsoft proprietary software and i can only trust microsoft to provide that compatibility.

However, even with 3rd party apps, i am having issues with connecting my work profile with my xbox. I don't know why there are such restrictions in place for xbox while i can freely access the same content from my other personal devices including my mobile phone using the same work/educational profile.

Please let me know if there are plans to integrate onedrive better with xbox.

:)

Hi, Arjun! thank you for reaching out.

Unfortunately, there is currently no official information on when or if the OneDrive app will be available on Xbox consoles again. The best way to provide feedback to Xbox regarding this matter is through Xbox's Idea Hub at: https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxinsiders/wiki/ideas

Note: This is a non-Microsoft website. The page appears to be providing accurate, safe information. Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as a "PUP" (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

- Although not ideal, I'd suggest accessing OneDrive through Microsoft Edge on your console. That's usually the way I do it when I want to play certain music or videos on my console, and it also works with other types of files.

- You can also access some OneDrive files (Photos and Videos) through the "Microsoft Photos" app on your console.

Hey there,

Are you trying to view these files on the OneDrive App for the Xbox One?

skydrive (onedrive) is a free storage space provided by MS.... if you upload your videos to Onedrive from the upload studio, they are available to view from the internet... (skydrive.com) visit the skydrive website and download the program to your PC....
this will make Onedrive a file system on your PC where it automatically loads the file to your PC (as well as ANY pc or device synced to your account).. from there it is as easy as having a youtube account... upload a video and selecting the file location
within Skydrive (onedrive) on your PC

Transfer the files from OneDrive to your Xbox directly is not possible right now.

But you can use a 3.0 drive and select it to store screenshots and captures, in that way you can view them on your Xbox or share it if necessary

Hey there zsuri007,

It's not possible to copy photos from an External Hard Drive or USB drive to the console, however you can view these files from an external device, or through OneDrive if you prefer!
