Samsung announced that Galaxy users can now back up photos and videos straight from the Samsung Gallery app to Google storage. The rollout follows the end of Samsung's previous partnership with Microsoft OneDrive in late September. [1][2][3]
Setup is handled inside the Gallery app under Menu, Settings, and Sync photos and videos using connected Samsung and Google accounts. The integration allows synced media to display across Galaxy devices, though 9to5Google notes that it does not bring in a user's full Google Photos library. The update also adds a tool to free up local phone storage by deleting local copies once files are backed up. [2][3]
The sync capability requires a device running One UI 9. Samsung is currently rolling out the update to select Galaxy devices, with plans to expand availability to more models in phases. [2][3]
Samsung has officially launched Google Photos integration in its Gallery app with backup services, and it’s also now widely rolled out for Galaxy devices.
