TL;DR

  • Samsung will stop using OneDrive as a cloud backup option in the Gallery app.
  • Instead, the company will use its own cloud solution to back up your data.
  • There’s no date yet for when OneDrive support will end.

If you have syncing enabled in the Samsung Gallery app, then your photos will automatically be backed up to the cloud. Not only does this allow you to access your photos from other devices, but it’s also nice knowing you won’t lose your precious moments if anything happens to your phone. For cloud storage, the Gallery app has long supported Microsoft’s OneDrive. However, that status quo may change soon, as Samsung is looking to go in a different direction.
