Overview
- Microsoft confirmed the built-in sync between Samsung Gallery and OneDrive will end on September 30, 2026, removing the direct link between the two apps.
- Photos and videos already stored in OneDrive will not be deleted but will stop appearing inside the Samsung Gallery app after the change.
- Users can still view and download their backups through the standalone OneDrive app or by visiting onedrive.com.
- To back up new photos to Microsoft after the cutoff, Samsung device owners must install the OneDrive app, sign into a Microsoft account, enable Camera backup, and grant the app permission to access media.
- The change creates a migration window that adds steps and potential confusion for users and could push some to alternate backup services that keep in‑app gallery integration.
