    I use this drive as an external for my Xbox One and it works great. Just plug it in and the Xbox detects it. Definitely recommend it.

    I have been very disappointed with cloud storage. No internet connection: no access to your stuff. This drive was just what I needed although my other Seagate drive died after less than a year, I'm being careful to put my files on the drive then immediately afterwards: to the cloud, Caveat emptor!
