Uploading to OneDrive from Xbox console:

6. After selecting all the items, choose ‘Upload to OneDrive’ option.

Selecting it will immediately start uploading all chosen items to your OneDrive storage.

Uploading to Google Drive from computer:

The game clips you want to upload on your Drive must be uploaded to Xbox Live. You can only upload the captures that are uploaded there.

1. Start your computer and launch the ‘Xbox’ app. In Windows 10, you’ve got this app pre-installed. If you’re unable to find it in your PC, search for it with the Start Menu search.

2. You’ll have to sign in with your Microsoft account. Go to Sign in section and enter your Microsoft account credentials, then proceed. If you’re signed in previously, then skip this step.

There is no way to upload captures directly to Google Drive. Downloads will be stored in the Videos folder in the C drive.

6. Locate the captures and upload to your Google Drive.

Once your game clips come in your PC, you can store them in an external storage drive or wherever you want.
