Samsung Gallery<\/a> just got bumped to version 15.9.01.7<\/strong>, and with Gallery Cloud Sync 1.6.09.31 it finally brings Google Photos<\/a> backup to Galaxy users. On supported Galaxy devices, you can turn on Google Photos backup right from Samsung Gallery as Samsung starts phasing out OneDrive sync, which ends on September 30, 2026. The rollout is expected to start around October 1.<\/p>\n

To set it up, go to Menu > Settings, turn on \u201cSync photos and videos,\u201d<\/strong> connect Google Photos, and back up straight from Samsung Gallery.<\/p>\n\n

This will appeal to people who like Samsung Gallery but use Google Photos for cloud storage. Just don’t read it as a full Google Photos replacement. Samsung Gallery can upload your photos and videos, but it still won’t let you browse your Google Photos library<\/strong> inside the app. And if you only upload through Samsung Gallery, some Google Photos features, like Memories, Highlights, and search, may not fully pick up that content unless you’re also using the Google Photos app.<\/p>\n\n

A couple of practical catches come with it. Uploads will count against your Google Account storage<\/strong>, and edits made in either Samsung Gallery or Google Photos should sync across both apps.<\/p>\n\n

If you’re setting this up from scratch, keep an eye<\/strong> out for overlap or duplicate uploads. Xiaomi, OnePlus, and OPPO added similar integrations in 2024, so Samsung is arriving late here, even if the change lines up with its broader partnership with Google.<\/p>\n\n

You can get the Samsung Gallery update through the Samsung Gallery app on supported Galaxy devices as the rollout spreads.<\/p>\n
