Microsoft is working on a new Xbox feature. With this feature, the tech giant will allow console owners to automatically upload their screenshots and videos to OneDrive. Microsoft will also allow users to upload previously saved clips and screenshot collections to OneDrive.
The company is currently testing the feature with Xbox Insiders in the Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead rings. This feature is available only to a handful of beta testers. The company is expected to roll out this feature to more users in the future.
How this feature will work
Xbox owners will be assisted by a wizard who will guide them through the process of syncing clips to OneDrive. It will also include the option to upload existing ones. Xbox users won’t have to upload their entire existing collection. The company will allow users to individually choose the videos and screenshots they want to upload.

However, the company has warned that if users have a lot of files to be uploaded to OneDrive, it will take a couple of days to finish. Microsoft notes that users have to wait before all their clips are uploaded as the process runs in the background.
This tool will also allow users to enable automatic uploads. With this feature enabled, future videos and screenshots will become available in the videos and pictures folder on OneDrive, respectively. Users will be able to access these videos and screenshots on OneDrive on the web, PC, Mac, or through the OneDrive mobile app.
However, Microsoft hasn’t improved the uploading process of these clips. According to a report by Verge, videos still take a long time to upload, even with a fast connection. The report claimed that 4K recordings are not being automatically uploaded to OneDrive. Microsoft has said that this feature will be enabled in the coming months.
