Summary
Samsung has started rolling out updates that bring Google Photos cloud backup into the Gallery app, restoring native photo syncing for Galaxy users after OneDrive integration was removed earlier this year.
The new setup appears through the Gallery Cloud Sync app and Samsung Cloud updates, with options to view available storage, choose albums to sync and set data conditions, though the feature was not yet live in testing.
Samsung’s app description says photos, videos and albums will be backed up to Google’s cloud and kept synced across devices, but early previews indicate the integration runs directly through Google Photos.
Existing OneDrive users can still sync through Sept. 30, giving Samsung a transition window as it replaces the old service with a built-in alternative already seen on brands such as OnePlus and Xiaomi.
