Starting September 30, 2026, users will no longer be able to sync their Samsung Gallery with OneDrive, as confirmed by Microsoft on a support page. This change means that new users will not have the option to link these two applications after the deadline. For existing users who previously utilized this feature, adjustments will be necessary to continue backing up photos and videos.
While the integration allowed for a straightforward login process, the new method for backing up through OneDrive will require using a dedicated app and granting full access to photos and videos. Although this transition may seem minor, it highlights a shift in how users will manage their media.
OneDrive subscriptions begin at $1.99 per month for 1TB of storage, which is included in a Microsoft 365 subscription. Despite the change, alternatives like Google Photos and Amazon Photos provide enhanced functionalities for users seeking effective photo backup solutions.
