Survey reveals that Samsung Gallery’s former backup companion was more widely used than expected

Samsung Ends OneDrive Gallery Sync in September

Core change
At the end of September, Samsung halted Gallery sync support for Microsoft OneDrive. The feature had mirrored photos from Gallery to OneDrive, similar to Google Photos backing up images to Google's cloud service.

New backup path
Before ending OneDrive support, Samsung was revealed to be switching from Microsoft's platform to Google Cloud. When Gallery sync is enabled, users can now back up images to Google's service while still viewing them in Gallery.

Why it matters
The move ended speculation that Samsung was preparing its own cloud backup service. It also prompted a poll to gauge how many Samsung users had relied on OneDrive sync and whether the feature had been popular.
