Global Storage tool (GlobalStorage.exe)

  • Article

Global title storage is used to store data that everyone can read, such as rosters, maps, challenges, or art resources.

The Global Storage tool is used to manage global title storage in test sandboxes. Data must still be published to RETAIL via Partner Center.

This command-line tool is part of the GDK and XboxLiveTools.zip; see Development tools for Xbox Live.

Custom tools can be created with the Dev Tools library.

GlobalStorage.exe is used to manage title global storage in test sandboxes, before publish to RETAIL. XblDevAccount.exe signin is required to be called at least once before first use.
