  • •Samsung Gallery now syncs with Google storage, replacing OneDrive integration.
  • •The feature is available on select Galaxy devices running One UI 9 and is rolling out gradually.
  • •Users can access their synced media across devices by logging into the same Google account.

On November 10, 2026, Samsung announced that its Gallery app will now sync photos and videos with Google storage, replacing the previous integration with Microsoft OneDrive, which ended on September 30, 2026. This new feature allows users to back up their media directly to Google accounts, making it accessible across compatible Galaxy devices. Users can enable sync by tapping the cloud icon in the Gallery app or through settings. The service uses the existing Google account storage, with a free limit of 15 GB. While the rollout is gradual, it is currently available on select devices running One UI 9. Samsung clarified that files already synced with OneDrive will remain accessible but will not sync going forward. The integration aims to streamline the backup process for users who prefer Samsung's native app over Google Photos.
