Samsung Ends Galaxy Gallery-OneDrive Sync on Sept. 30, 2026, Pushing Users to 1TB Camera Backup

Summary
September 30, 2026 is the cutoff for Samsung Gallery’s direct OneDrive sync, ending the unified view that let Galaxy users browse local and cloud photos in one app.
Photos already uploaded to OneDrive will remain available through the OneDrive app, web and Windows PCs, but cloud-only files will stop appearing automatically inside Samsung Gallery.
OneDrive’s Camera backup is Samsung users’ closest replacement, continuing automatic uploads for new photos and videos; Microsoft 365 Personal plans typically include 1TB of storage.
Google Photos is the main alternative for users willing to switch ecosystems, with backup controls similar to OneDrive and up to 5TB bundled in Google AI Pro plans.
Samsung users who rely on the integration need to download any cloud-only originals they want stored locally and test a new backup workflow before the deadline.
