Q: Can i use this to store games for my Xbox one, since my hdd is only 500gs?

A: Yes. My grandson uses his to store his games for his x-box one. He went online and found specific instructions on how to hook it up and use it. He has even taken his games on it to other houses to play.

Q: Does this work like a thumb drive where I can drag & drop files or does it work like the WD drive where I can't even see what's on the drive?

A: It works just like thumb drive or has a program you can use for mirroring. I have hundreds of gigs of school information that I need to access so this drive is a perfect back up and storage for me.
