Help! Can I use an external hard drive for both Xbox one and pc?

@Ebslou26  256 GB is enough for Sims 4; it's actually enough for Sims 3 and 4, plus all their content, if you're careful.

You could use the external drive you have for your XBox with your laptop, but you'd need to format it and it then wouldn't be usable with your XBox, at least until you formatted it again.  So unless you only plan to use the drive with one device at a time and don't mind erasing it each time you switch, it's not a good solution.

@Puzzleaddict thank you for getting back to me. I’m so thankful sims 4 will work with the 256gb, I guess I’ll have to wait for it to arrive then as the external drive won’t be good after all as don’t want to have to delete stuff and then get it back it’s to much bother. Are you sure the 256GB memory stick will be good for my laptop for sims 4? 

thanks again for the reply and advice 

@Ebslou26  Without knowing exactly what you ordered, I can't tell you how well the memory stick will work with Sims 4.  But I can tell you that 256 GB is plenty of space.  Even with all packs installed, Sims 4 takes up something in the range of 50 GB of storage, and save files are relatively small.  So even if you stored all your user data on the memory stick and had a large pile of custom content, space would not be an issue.

It’s just an ordinary memory stick with 256gb of space on it… hopefully it will work then. Thanks for the help. Hopefully it’ll work on my laptop too otherwise I’ll be so sad and disappointed.
