Samsung Gallery rolling out Google Photos sync, here are the details you need to know

Samsung Gallery now supports Google Photos sync, replacing the previous Microsoft OneDrive backup integration. This update, which has been working in the background, is now officially rolling out to users. After installing updates to the Gallery Sync and Samsung Cloud apps, users are starting to see the Gallery Sync feature in Samsung Gallery updates. The rollout is currently only available to devices running Android 13 or newer, and does not support Workspace accounts.

Users can enable Google Photos sync through Menu > Settings > Sync > Sync photos and videos within the Samsung Gallery app. The sync will only back up images and videos from Samsung Gallery, and not content directly backed up through the Photos app. Samsung will have access to the media items backed up from the Gallery Sync, but not to items in Google Photos that were not backed up from a synced Samsung device. The integration with OneDrive ends on September 30 for those still using it.
