Summary
Samsung said Galaxy users can now sync Gallery photos and videos to Google storage, letting them access the same media across supported phones and tablets without opening a separate cloud account.
The setup uses Samsung and Google accounts already signed in on the device, and draws from the Google account’s shared storage pool, which includes up to 15 GB free across Gmail, Drive and Photos.
A new “Free up space on this phone” option lets users delete local originals after sync while keeping thumbnails visible in Gallery and downloading files again when needed.
Support began on select Galaxy devices running One UI 9 and Samsung said the Gallery sync feature will expand to additional devices in phases.
