On Tuesday, Samsung's Galaxy phones can now back up photos through Google instead of Microsoft.
The company announced that its Gallery app can sync with a Google account, a move that follows September's quiet removal of Microsoft OneDrive integration. The feature is rolling out to select Galaxy devices on One UI 9, with more devices getting it in phases. Users can turn it on through the Cloud icon in Gallery or Gallery Settings, then sync photos and videos to their Google account. The update also lets Galaxy devices pull previews from Google-synced files and adds a Free up space option that deletes originals from the phone while keeping thumbnails. Samsung says it will expand the rollout over time.
