A few weeks ago, Samsung announced that it would end support for Microsoft OneDrive integration with the Gallery app on Galaxy phones and tablets. Now, it has been revealed that the company will bring Google Photos integration to the Gallery app instead.Samsung recently released an update to the Gallery Cloud Sync app, a system app on Galaxy devices running One UI 9.0. According to the app's description, this update (version 1.6.09.31) introduces Google Photos integration. However, even after installing the update on our Galaxy S26 Ultra running the One UI 9.0 beta, the Google Photos integration isn't visible yet.Since Microsoft OneDrive integration support is ending on September 30, 2026, we believe Google Photos integration will replace it starting October 1. OneDrive integration replaced Samsung Cloud integration five years ago.

As you can see in the screenshots below, once you grant permission for the Samsung Gallery app to integrate with Google Photos, it will display how much storage is available in your Google account, along with controls for syncing, cleaning up storage space, and getting more storage.

So, it appears that this feature has been in the works for phones since last year.
