Xbox DVR WON’T upload to OneDrive

Paladin Evans · Nov 3, 2023

Last month Xbox told us to upload everything to OneDrive to be able to keep the things we want forever. I uploaded what I wanted last month. Now I am trying to upload more things to OneDrive and this error comes up every time. The vaguest, laziest excuse for why things can’t be uploaded.

I have the OneDrive app, I can clearly see that I’ve only used about 60% of the space.

If the above steps don't fix the issue, you can try resetting the OneDrive app on your PC. This process will erase your existing OneDrive settings and ask you to sign in again. To do so, follow these steps:

Right-click the OneDrive icon in the system tray and select "Settings."
In the "Settings" tab, click "Reset" and follow the instructions that appear.

If none of the above solutions work, you can try uninstalling and then reinstalling OneDrive on your PC. To do so, follow these steps:

Go to "Settings" in Windows and select "Applications."
Look for "Microsoft OneDrive" in the list of installed applications.
Click "Microsoft OneDrive" and select "Uninstall."
Restart your PC and then download and install the latest version of OneDrive from the official Microsoft website.

Not when resetting we only try to get the app to respond or to resolve any of the problems it presents, but unfortunately I have run out of more options to provide you, I will put you in contact with another advisor, it may take a while for someone to contact you Again with you, sorry for not having given a timely solution.

Hi David,

While I appreciate the reply, restarting the console is not a fix for everything. Xbox won’t even give a reason for what the issue is.

You can’t play online without having the latest update so I have that as well.

Also my storage is definitely not full…

Hello Paladin E, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

I'm sorry you're having trouble uploading your Xbox DVR clips to OneDrive. Here are some suggestions that might help you fix the problem:

Check your Xbox settings: Make sure you have the latest system update and enable auto-uploads by navigating to Settings > Preferences > Capture & Share, in the Auto-Uploads section.
Restart your Xbox console: Press and hold the Xbox button for 8 seconds or until the power turns off completely. Unplug the power cord from the back of the console for 5 minutes. Plug the power cable back in and restart the console.
Check your OneDrive storage: Although you mention that you've only used about 60% of the space, it would be helpful to check again to make sure you have enough space for the new uploads.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

Best regards.

I don’t have a PC.

And will resetting OneDrive cause everything on there to be deleted?
