End of Certain Samsung Cloud Features Notice
 
 
 I am really confused about this, I currently do not use One Drive, my photos sync to Google. Will this stop happening??
 
 

 Dear Samsung Cloud Customers, 

 Beginning on 2021-06-30, Gallery Sync and Drive storage for My Files will no longer be supported by Samsung Cloud and your data will be deleted, as explained further below. In addition, if you have a premium storage subscription plan, this will automatically be canceled beginning 2021-04-01 and a refund may be issued to you. 

 These features will now be supported by Microsoft OneDrive (This may not be supported in certain countries or device models). To minimize any inconveniences there might be, we offer you a way to migrate your existing Gallery Sync and/or Drive data to OneDrive conveniently until 2021-03-31 and continue with your service experience, or alternatively, to download your data to your mobile device and/or PC. Please note, if you migrate or download your data, these features may end and your data may be deleted prematurely even before the official end date, as described below. 

 You can keep enjoying other features of Samsung Cloud, such as backing up/syncing and restoring other data (such as Contacts, Calendar, and Notes).

I don't think it'll stop as I understand with Google Photos App it takes from the phones default gallery...i have had the app since HTC One M8 Pixel P20 Pro A70 now Note 20 Ultra 5G and photos always appeared on Google Photos. I think it just means Gallery won't back up to current cloud set up, I have a One Drive on phone....just incase 🙃

I believe Samsung Cloud is what is going hence they advising One Drive, Gallery would normally sync to that but as using Google Photos that app also grabs your photos taken.

I agree Samsung answer is confusing and simply repeats the previous notice that created the confusion. So to recap with regard to Google Photos we are saying they will continue to be backed up Google, Does the same thinking apply to the Drive programme?
