Samsung has announced that its Gallery app will no longer support direct OneDrive integration after September 30, 2026. The move ends a partnership that allowed Galaxy users to seamlessly back up photos and videos to Microsoft’s cloud service, requiring them to rely on the standalone OneDrive app instead.After the cutoff date, new users will not be able to link Samsung Gallery with OneDrive, while existing users must migrate their settings. Microsoft has advised users to update camera roll backup settings directly in the OneDrive app to continue automatic photo and video storage. This means backups will now require granting OneDrive full access permissions, adding extra steps compared to the current seamless Gallery integration.Microsoft acknowledged that relatively few Samsung users were actively using the Gallery–OneDrive sync. By consolidating photo backup under its own app ecosystem, the company aims to streamline services and reduce reliance on OEM-specific integrations. For Samsung, the decision simplifies its Gallery app, focusing on core photo management features without third-party dependencies.The change could push more Galaxy users toward alternatives like Google Photos, which remains deeply integrated into Android, or Amazon Photos. While OneDrive continues to be attractive for Microsoft 365 subscribers — offering 1TB storage starting at $1.99/monthits positioning is increasingly tied to productivity rather than consumer photo management.Samsung and Microsoft recommend that users migrate their Gallery backups before September 30, 2026. Updating settings in the OneDrive app will ensure continuity, while those seeking more convenience may explore alternatives like Google Photos for AI-driven features and tighter Android integration.
