Photo Syncing With One Drive May End

JAMES4578 — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 16:33:13 GMT

According to a report in Android Authority ,strings in the One Ui 8.5 version of the app seem to confirm that Sync With One Drive will be ending soon with photo back moving back to Samsung cloud. If so things will have gone full circle after the change in 2019. You would still be able to back up to One Drive if you wish . However to date this is unconfirmed, a number may welcome such a change though.

Hope it's true then. Iv'e never managed to do it with my S22ultra after moving from a S8+ phone so all my photos get backed up Google Photo's instead.

Please say its not true 🔥🔥🔥
This is problem with getting into bed with competitors.

I am so deep O365, I do wish Samsung would stay the course and go it alone then team up with others, Microsoft, Google..

Think there are mixed opinions on this, One Drive was fine for me though it was a bit strange when Samsung Cloud was downgraded. some had issues with syncing

For me this will end with a loss for the customer, most likely yet another paid subscription, or just one more piece to an already disjointed ecosystem.

I am REALLY hope they allow you to still choose, and automatically sync, with one drive. If not, this will be the a deal breaker with me. I use OneDrive as my main storage for all documents on computer and phone.

This will push be to try other android providers like OnePlus or Nothing phone.

I dont really use Onedrive a lot. I prefer sticking to Google photos as all of my pics get backed up easily on there. Im also a Google one member.
