At the end of September, Samsung halted Gallery sync support for Microsoft OneDrive. Previously, this partnership allowed photos from Gallery to be seamlessly mirrored to OneDrive, much like the Google Photos app backs up to Google’s cloud service. Many believed Samsung was gearing up for its own cloud backup service in a similar vein, but that wasn’t the case. Before pulling the plug on OneDrive, it was revealed that Samsung was switching from the Microsoft platform to, ironically, Google Cloud. Now, when sync is enabled, Gallery users can back up their images to Google’s service while still accessing them in Gallery.
Given the online chatter surrounding this move, we were interested in understanding just how many Samsung users took advantage of this OneDrive sync smarts. Was it even popular? We ran a poll, and the results are below.
