How to configure my Xbox 360 to *always* use the hard drive for saving

Just got the answer from Xbox support chat:

  1. From the Xbox Dashboard, go to Settings, and then select System.
  2. Select Storage, and then select your primary storage device.
  3. Select System Items, and then select Cloud Storage Console Copy.
  4. Select Delete. You will be asked to confirm that you want your saved games to remain in the cloud, and future updates to your saved games will not be synced with this console.

This stops the pop-up.


No, there's no global setting for this. Individual games can store the location of your saved game, so they don't prompt you, but as you've seen, most games will ask you every time you play.

There is a thread on Microsoft's forums, in their wish list section, asking to have this implemented, but I have no idea if that carries any weight with them, and it's possible that even if they did add that option, it might not be retroactive: it's possible that game developers would have to update their games to read your setting and use it properly.


You Can Simply Go To System Settings , Then Go to storage highlight your cloud storage , Press Y on your controller , select disable
