I guess you can logout/in on the boxes so as to at least access your own save? A pain having to do it all the time but I think it should work.

Does Xbox still support save to a device like memory cards (would be USB stick these days)? You might be able to transfer using that.

Other than that if you only wanted a one-off transfer between accounts you could ask XBox support, they might be able to do it. But it sounds like you want to move data all the time.

Sorry I can't be of more help, I had an OG Xbox and a 360 but haven't used the service for years.

The two devices just cloud sync the saves.

Do you use the same user on each device?

I would just set up your account on both devices.

You can only be logged into one at a time but that shouldn't be an issue, then cloud save will copy the saved files for you.

I have a Series S and X and regularly switch between them (different rooms) and cloud save sorts it out.
