Samsung Gallery to Replace OneDrive Sync With Google Photos Support

The move would shift in‑app photo and video backups from Microsoft’s cloud to Google’s and force users to move files if they want Gallery access after the September 30 cutoff.

Overview

  • Evidence from a Galaxy Store update and Google support pages shows Gallery Cloud Sync now points to Google Cloud and that uploads will surface in Google Photos.
  • Samsung has not publicly confirmed the change and the reporting is based on marketplace text and Google documentation rather than a Samsung press release.
  • Users are already seeing the OneDrive sync option vanish from the Gallery interface as the company phases out the OneDrive integration ahead of the September 30 deadline.
  • After September 30 photos kept on OneDrive will no longer appear inside Samsung Gallery but can still be opened or downloaded through the OneDrive app and web interface.
  • For users this means choosing whether to continue backing up with the OneDrive app or to migrate media to Google Photos if they want seamless access inside Gallery, a change that alters how Galaxy devices connect to cloud storage services.
