Xbox One says not enough space when updating games


Recommended Posts

I have an Xbox One with an external 3TB drive. The system shows 14.9% used. I have 3 games that don't update and I get a not enough free space error. I thought maybe the system wasn't smart enough to span the drives, so I moved a 40GB game to the external drive. The games still won't update. What could the problem be?

Well I moved another game and now the updates are working. I guess the console doesn't intelligently see it as one volume.

It does not, but that is on purpose. It could lead to issues if the system assumed the external storage was simply part of the internal storage.
