TL;DR
- Samsung is ending a partnership with Microsoft that saw images backed up from Samsung Gallery stored in OneDrive.
- OneDrive will instead back up photos to Google’s cloud storage in the future.
- Images stored this way will be accessible in both Samsung Gallery and Google Photos.
Samsung announced earlier this year that it would stop working with Microsoft OneDrive to store user images and videos in the cloud. That partnership is officially ending at the end of September, and preparations for nixing the functionality have already begun. Now that Microsoft is on its way out, we’ve learned Samsung will partner with Google for cloud storage going forward.
As spotted by X user Sandeep Adap, a new version of Samsung’s Gallery Cloud Sync service has popped up on the Galaxy Store. The service’s description specifies that it backs up photos and videos in Google Cloud.
