11. PS4 is só hard for you to do ANYTHING with your data when using a USB – I even got external hard drive to save on and it still wont let me transfer anything – it yells at me when I unplug it. So yes people SONY has made it near impossible for you to have 2 systems in your home or transfer your data to an already beat game – to say under one of your kids accounts so they can play all the level. ITS INFURIATES ME to NO END. ITS my data and I should be able to give it to whom ever is on my family account or friends. I called them and their is no way short of being from Geek Squad here to transfer your data easy. I tried doing this USB thing and its constantly asking to format my USB for extended storage. Does that mean I wont be able to remove it and put it on the other console IDK. Now do I want to find out. None of that is mentioned on here. Its a way for SONY to make you keep buying PS plus or use their online storage which also does not solve my problem of getting my kids off my profile because I can't store data from the games I played in their name and get them off my profile. Thanks SONY – your data storage is about as good as your hand held systems. One Pissed off Mother. So for the peeps under this post. I also want to be able to move data from one account to another and let my child play the game I have beat for her so she can play the BUILD mode. Dragon Quest Builders – Lego Worlds – my child has autism and has no clue or maybe don't want to follow the rules of the game she just wants to build to her hearts content. But I had to create her an account so I could play a game since she was always on mine. Why don't you get in touch with them and between me and all those under the next post – we got lots of people who need or want this option.
