I have an Xbox Live account I'd used for years with my Xbox 360. We bought an Xbox One recently and I downloaded some games as my user. My son also has an Xbox Live account but cannot play my downloaded games, even though he's in my "family" on XBox Live and it's on the same console.
Is there anything we need to do to get him access to my games?
You can create your X-Box account for any country, however you can only change countries once every 12 months. This can be done via the X-Box live website. You have to however copy all your downloaded content to a backup USB since you can't re-download these. Also the country on your Live account and the X-Box account must match, otherwise it will create some havoc. To access the change your region options on X-Box live look for the following on your account:
Unfortunately I am getting the following screen since I recently did this, however you will get the option to choose a country:
Gamercards can only redeemed for the country they are bought for, as they are linked to the Live store for each country.
The only reason I can imagine your games won't work bought in India, is if they are not PAL/NTSC compatible depending on what you use. South Africans for a long time bought Australian and UK X-Boxes and bought games locally and they worked fine.
I have, on many occasions, had both my US account and my Canadian account on the same Xbox.
While it may seem strange that I would have both, after living in Canada for a number of years I became frustrated with the restrictions (I couldn't buy gamer points in Canada on my American account). As a result I now have both.
This has worked seamlessly on both my American and (later) my Canadian Xbox.
While I can't be 100% sure about Brazil+US, I do know that Canada and US are separate regions and they do function as you would expect.

After speaking to an MS support rep, the issue is that I hadn't designated the new XBox One as my "home" xbox. You need to go into the Settings, then set as home the console you want to share with the family.
After that, any user using my "home" XBox (whether my family or not) can use all my DLC and Gold games.
