How to Access Cloud Saves on PS4 | Transfer & Restore Game Saves to the CLOUD or USB! (Best Method) 

much appreciated, my son accidentally deleted his minecraft file save and was pretty sad about it. thankfully it was a game I had set to auto upload and didn't remember so. Found and dowloaded again, whew lol

Yup the fellas are here learning how to move out from the old appartment and into the new House 😂😂😂😂😂 AKA PS4 to PS5

So this doesn’t give you more memory this just helps recovering saved data from games onto a newer device?

If your main account has ps plus are you able to save the data on another account that doesn’t have ps plus

Thanks man I really appreciate you making this video it helped out a lot!

Anyone else’s say “there is no saved data” even though there is?

How do I see what is saved from a computer/tablet/phone? I’m not positive if I have any data set to be automatically uploaded, I believe I do, but I want to check before I try problem solving on my PS4 that may include initializing. It’s stuck in a “insert usb device with update file”-boot loop. This sucks.

So I basically just deleted every save file that was on my old ps4.........fml

This video was extremely helpful thanks bro

I have a quick question, I recently played my relative’s Ps5 game and saved some data but now I’m playing on my ps4 and idk how I can transfer that data. Is that possible?

I lost absolutely everything, I found this afterwards.

can I still get the Saved Data from the cloud after my PS4 just got Initialized (means my PS4 got all its data deleted completely as if getting a brand new console) and buying PS Plus? Like is all the data still there even though you don’t have PS Plus? Please help I’m in a very desperate situation Edit: I got two likes but no replies 😂

I downloaded my save data but I can’t find it in the loading game option

If you have ps plus on your main account are you able to save it on other accounts that don’t have saved data

Whenever I try to put it into my iCloud it wouldn’t work please help me!!!

Thank you 🙏🏾 man this really helped me out

I came here because of the ps5. For those of you worried about the ps4 external hard drive here is what I found out. Ps4 external hard drives are compatible with the ps5 but can only be used to play ps4 games on the 5. You can't store ps5 games on the external hard drive. Ps5 games can only be stored internal on the ps5 ssd storage. So what you do is save your ps4 games onto the cloud or flash drive 1st. Then format your ps4 external drive once plugged into the ps5. (If you already have ps4 games stored in the external hard drive that was already formatted on the ps4 i believe don't have to format once plugged in the ps5)Then once you have your ps5 you sign in your ps5 account you so you can restore your ps4 memory from the cloud or flash drive. Then you should be good to go to play your ps4 stuff through the ps4 external hard drive that's plugged into the ps5. 🤔

Yo I don't have ps plus what do I need to do

So I downloaded the save data from the cloud onto the storage but I go into the game and it Doesn’t give me the load game option(which would pop up from having the data) someone plz help I really need this. Btw the game that I’m trying to recover the data too is absolver I had put 300+ hours into the game

If I was to upload my game data to the cloud and then sign into my account on another PS4, would I have my data on the other PS4?

So if I do the AutoUpload. Can I then directly play/download the games on the ps5 or will I lose my storymode saving etc?

Tried this. Followed every step but for some reason replaced my character with the save from 4 days ago. Lost everything including my 400 platnum coins

Is it possible to take game saves from one playstation account and put it on another account (using USB) ?

Thanks. Easy to follow. Appreciate the help

Thank you so much man, great video.

Someone needs to help me my brother who has his own PS4 had some games that he didn’t want so I transferred them to my PS4 but the games would not work for me and a lot of my games how to re-download but some of them are not downloading I don’t know what to do most of my games are not working😖

This is cool and all… BUT…. what about my case where my kid deleted my RDR2 game saves from my PS4? Can I somehow access those old saves via PlayStation Plus?

Thanks bro you helped me a lot 🤟

Hey I have a question. When I’m saving my game to the cloud do only select the player profile in the game I want to back up or the whole saves in the one game?

I recently bought my husband a PS4 so I don't have to save mines. Thank you for this vid.

I need help. It takes 8 hours to download and install some of my games. If I save them to the cloud and factory reset my Playstation. Do I have to wait the 8 hours for the download and install? Also I'm confused, do I have to save it to a USB drive to transfer it back or is cloud just ad good?

So if I my game save on online storage and download to system storage, does it also stay on online storage or does it completely transfer to system storage only so when I’m done with the game I have to transfer back to online storage

If I auto upload (PS Plus) and start up a new ps4 I can access all my saved games etc.. ?? But here’s my question why do people transfer data from an old ps4 to their new ps4 via wire and internet? Is one better than the other ?

Do games automatically upload by default? My ps4 isn't working and I don't want to lose all my saves

Will it automatically update? Or will I have to constantly make a new save every time

So I’m trying to get a game back from a different account. Any tips?

i have one question: if I buy ps+ for one month for example in december and next year I‘m not buying ps+. Can i upload my old december data to my new ps4/5 or do I have to have a ps+ subscription all the time?

I broke my black ops four disc I want to buy the digital version will all the stuff that I got on black ops four from my desk will it be on there when I buy the digital version

I got a new ps4 because mine just exploded iv lost data from games how do I get it back

My old hardrive was failing so i replaced it and the problem was that everything kept corrupting will it mess up my new hard drive if i download my cloud saved files, pretty much asking if the cloud could be corrupt as well?

Quick question bro what if i deleted the user off my ps4 but then re added my user and like my games saves are all gone due to me deleting the user can i still manage the save files of all my games even copy discs? For example persona 5 i completed the game but deleted user and my files are gone meaning im new game everything smh so if i get playstation plus can i get them all back?

Wait so by doing this when you wanna play the game again it dose not loose anything data while playing it even if you deleted the file ? Once you uploaded it to online storage

You just saved my life bruh …

I have a question if i buy a game on one ps4 will i get it free on the other ps4 ? Edit: i have the acount on both ps4s

Thank you my power went out and corrupted my Minecraft save and I was so sad but then remembered that PlayStation plus is a savior

what happens when you don’t have ps plus anymore will the game saves not be on the cloud anymore or something idk

Help!! I wanted to replay a certain mission on Far Cry 6 (PS4), so I used a USB save I had and uploaded to the system, only to then realize that I had the Auto Save To The Cloud on automatic. So now I lost my most recent save? Any way to retrieve a Cloud Save from previous date? Before allowing the Cloud Save Overwrite, there should be a Warning stating that the system save is older than the current Cloud Save. ********** Thanks.

How do I open up that save I made though like if I wanna go into it how do I

Does it work when I buy psplus???

Is it possible to transfer saved data from another psn account to another one with a usb?

So I would be able to do this but transferring it to the ps5?

Im thinking of doing this on another console on my account. If i save all the wanted games to the cloud in that account. Then if i initialize another ps4 console of mine (like completely wipe it like if it was a brand new console). As soon as sign in with my account in that. Will it have saved all of my games and the progress??? Im doing this only because my ps4 is being complete crap right now and im stuck on the safe mode loop, and the ONLY solution is initializing my ps4 sadly. Ok, so after a little bit of doing some stuff. My ps4 is completely broken. After initialization, I tryed to re download my games but all got corrupted, over and over again. I literally cant play or do anything with it. But hey! Imma getting a PS4 PRO soon!! Yay... im still mad tho.

How do you enable auto upload to your new PS for with your same game data

So like if I want a new hard drive I do this exactly?

Are you saying that I can retrieve all my dark souls remastered data that I lost due to curroption by retrieving my auto uploads. (As I had ps+)

Hey.. question..is the “auto upload” automatically turned on or would I actually have to go into settings, click on the option and turn it on myself? I’ve been googling around and some sources I’ve found say that it’s automatically enabled by a global setting.. thanks

one issue, it doesn't say how high the percentage is on the cloud saves for ps4.....

i can´t run my old Witcher 3 saves, it´s because new patches?

Bro I have done all this & it shows all the progress & all the data from yesterday but my ps went to safe mode & I followed all the steps & my game is not even in the save data but old games are I showing but it still shows no game

Can this method be used for switching hardrives

Will it automatically upload screenshots and recorded gameplay to the cloud????

I accidentally did the download before the upload, and when I went back to my game it went back to a previous save, did I lose everything?

So it can be in clouds and I can play it while it is there?

Does anyone know if This will work for ps5? Also if it’s a disk does it have to be the same disk or can it be a different one?(still talking about ps5)

Someone help me out so if I save my games to online storage when I get a ps5 I can upload my games to the ps5?

So on my old ps4 I uploaded all the data from my 2k20 so I could download on the new ps4 but when I go to the download options, there is no 2k20 showing up?

So say I beat a game and I beat it on my friends playstation and now I’m back on mine will this transfer the data through the account so I can continue where I had left off on to my PlayStation instead of doing the “manual two PlayStation transfer”
