See other comments about same problem on this Issue It was reopened their was some progress made if your console got 2 updates in the past few weeks
I went back to the Xbox one with the most up-to-date world play on it, without giving me the option to load what was on the cloud or on that console it loaded the cloud and I lost maybe 6 to 8 months worth of work I decided to try the Xbox one X to see if it would at least copy what was on the cloud as well so all Xbox versions would be the same but that did not happen it will not load the game at all and asked me to just to play off-line I won't do that so I just close down the game,
There is no sync communication between the original Xbox ones and the Xbox one X
There does appear to be some good news I went to my second Xbox one and started the game and it appears the sync between original Xbox one to other Xbox one consoles units is working I still lost months of work but at least both were synced now,
It is likely that anyone updating their Xbox One is will lose some information from the game in order to get it to re-sync with other Xbox One console's , I don't have an Xbox One S so if anyone can test and verify if the sync is working between Xbox one and Xbox one S and let us know.
Pay attention to your world file size before you attempt this so you can see if there is a difference afterward.
Thanks to all who responded over the weekend, Like Tom, Zachary and John, And Helped Keep this Issue going and reopened it, Please KEEP It Up. ask your friends to post as well. I know a lot have given up as this Issue has dragged on for way too Long, most just give up and play on the one console, but that's not a solution sooner or later you will upgrade consoles what then write off all those worlds.
You know the old saying about the squeaky wheel, If we dont keep making noise no attention will be given to our problem, for most of us the whole reason we own multiple consoles is so we can use one when other family members are using the others, and it sucks the sync is not working to allow us to pick up on any console and continue playing at the point we left off at, and it sounds like a lot of others have stopped playing Minecraft like me, due to this Issue as well. Some of my worlds have years of work put into them that I don't want to put at risk of losing.
Thanks also to Mega_Spud for reopening Pls Keep pushing for FIX, Is there anything we can do to assist, I can make a video from each console showing the problem, if someone from tech support wants to contact us that's fine, could you answer if they can duplicate the issue? are do they not see the same problem? and does the problem lie with Minecraft or Xbox consoles.
Hello Mega_Spud
Thanks for working on this for us,, seem they are getting close on Xbox One to Xbox One sync, but still not there, No progress at all on Xbox One to Xbox One X no sync among worlds when switching consoles.
I Started up on the Xbox One console that was up to date with the most work completed on the main world. I worked on it about 15 mins, saved and quite I left the Xbox on for 20 min then ended the Minecraft game, and shut down that Xbox one. Please note all my Xbox consoles updated when I started up the game, as I had not played since June, so they are running latest version.
I went to my second Xbox one signed in and started the game, it looked like it loaded asked which version I wanted to sync, the June one from console or cloud from 8/17/18, I loaded cloud 8/17 and It appeared to sync loaded slowly up to 30% or more and screen went to start game but error msg stating sync did not complete or it was corrupted, and to go back and replay game on 1st Xbox one and try sync again.
I shut down game and that 2nd Xbox one. and moved to one of my two, Xbox one X consoles but their was no effort to even try to sync when game started, and its version of the same world listed it at 149mb while my 1st Xbox one list that world at 303mb.
So their is still a very serious problem with the sync of worlds not only between Xbox ones, in which there is some communication but errors, to the Xbox one X in which no sync exist between the one x and the Xbox one consoles. please reopen you can view my worlds,, my gamer tag should be accessible, its my sign in user name, or contact me by email.
IIt is very strange this issue only occurs when you try to switch saved worlds to different Xbox consoles I can play on the same console with no issues but having multiple consoles in the home there is definitely a sync problem, I don't know why their is so much finger-pointing,,, this is a Xbox issues not a Minecraft issues or vice versa , that really doesn't matter where the problem is, have someone contact these players and monitor what happens when they try switch between consoles it is truly hard to believe that no one at Xbox or Minecraft can duplicate this issue, I am very sure there are a lot more Minecraft players who have this issue they just don't know where to go to report it, nothing comes up on Google and I stumbled across this myself.
My original post is below
We have 2 Xbox one and 2 Xbox one x and are having same issue, getting message the Xbox is taking a long time to sync with cloud,, the main problem is going from Xbox one to Xbox one X, part of me wonders if this is the way to force us to pay monthly fees for realms,,,, I don't play cross-platform I just want to be able to switch between Xbox one consoles because sometimes other family members are using the console I had been playing on, I would've never switched if I knew I was going to lose that ability, so can someone please clarify if this is a bug or if this is the new reality for playing Minecraft on Xbox one

Question for Alex and Tim, Did You either of you get and update in the past week, My reg Xbox one to Xbox one did start to sync after both got update last week, this was my 2nd update in 2 weeks I dont know what it did, as I found no info on the update just watched it update on those consoles, the Xbox one X have not had a 2nd update, so I'm not playing on them but I load game once or twice a week to see if it updates.
