Where do uploaded shared screen captures go?

TheLeethal1 · Aug 16, 2021

Silly question...

I am on XBOX One, and created a screen capture. I then wanted to share it, but XBOX One prompted me if I wanted to upload it to the XBOX Cloud (maybe XBOX Live feed?). I answered 'Yes'.

Now, where is this screen capture? How can I (and others) access it, and potentially other shared screen captures uploaded from my XBOX One?

I am hoping there is a URL available. If not, please supply detailed instructions for XBOX One.

Note: I checked my OneDrive, and nothing is there.

Thank you.

Good Morning,
See what Microsoft instructs:

To capture what's going to happen next:

Start your game. Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.
Select Capture & share > Start recording. Depending on your game, clip resolution and available storage space, clips can last up to 10 minutes (capturing to internal storage) or 1 hour (capturing to external storage).
To end the clip, open the guide and press the X button . You'll get a message when your clip is saved.
To see your captures, select Recent captures. Select any capture to see what you can do with it.
Captures made on Xbox consoles get automatically uploaded to Xbox Live. If you’re using the Xbox mobile app, you’ll get a notification there when your latest capture is ready to view and share.

You can delete captures from Xbox Live, your console, or both.

To turn off automatic uploading from your console
Press the Xbox button  to open the guide, then go to Profile & system > Settings > Preferences > Capture & share > Automatically upload.

Intructions on sharing screenshots:

Hold Xbox button until you see a guide, Go to Captures & Share>Recent captures. This will allow you to see all your screenshots. Select the screenshot you want to share and then go to See all sharing options>Activity feed. This will now make your screenshot viewable to other people.

Onedrive will not show your screenshots if you share it there.

That is not what they asked. The question is *where* do the captures go on OneDrive once you upload them. What folder do the captures upload to, as I'm having the same issue finding them on OneDrive once upload is done.

Hi Jacob!

May I confirm if your clips and captures are saved on your internal storage or external storage?

Let's make sure that automatic upload is enabled.
Press the Xbox button to open the guide, and then go to Profile & system > Settings > Preferences > Capture & share > Automatically upload.

To upload a capture that wasn’t uploaded automatically, select the capture, and then select Upload.

That's strange. It should not be removed on its own unless it's uploaded to Xbox network and is past 30 days with no views in it.

Please try to enable the automatic upload:
Press the Xbox button to open the guide, and then go to Profile & system > Settings > Preferences > Capture & share > Automatically upload.

Check as well your Xbox app on mobile.
Launch the Xbox app.
At the bottom of the screen, select My Library > Captures.
