The Transition from Samsung Cloud to Microsoft OneDrive Kicks Off Officially
Microsoft and Samsung have signed a long-term collaboration that allowed the software giant not only to bring some of its mobile apps to Android devices launched by the South Korean company but also to turn OneDrive into the recommended cloud service for those buying a Galaxy phone. Samsung announced that Samsung Cloud would give up on Gallery Sync and Drive storage in the favor of OneDrive, which means users storing their data in the cloud would have to move to Microsoft’s service. And once the replacement is complete, users who want cloud capabilities would have their photo galleries uploaded to OneDrive instead of Samsung Cloud. “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 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,” Samsung explains.
On the other hand, certain functionality of Samsung Cloud would continue to be offered, and these include backups in the cloud, syncing and restoration of contacts, calendar, and notes. The migration to OneDrive will happen in three important stages that we’re going to detail below. First and foremost, beginning today, you are no longer able to start using the aforementioned features. In other words, if you weren’t using them already, you just have to make the switch to OneDrive.

In addition, Samsung is providing existing users with a OneDrive migration and data download tool that makes the whole process a bit more convenient for everybody. “If you select OneDrive integration, the data stored in Samsung Cloud will be transferred to OneDrive. Upon completion of the transfer, all the Samsung Cloud synced/stored Gallery and Drive data will be deleted. If you select the Samsung Cloud data download, Samsung Cloud data will be completely deleted from Samsung Cloud irrecoverably 90 days after you selected the data download or the final termination date (June 30, 2021), whichever comes first,” Samsung says. Starting April 1, 2021, the South Koreans will discontinue the existing use of Gallery Sync and Drive and will also stop the OneDrive migration support. Furthermore, the company will cancel the existing premium storage subscription and issue refunds to customers. “Starting from April 1, 2021, the existing Samsung Cloud services such as Gallery Sync and Drive will be discontinued and the subscriptions to paid storage service will be automatically cancelled.
From that moment until the termination and data deletion phase, only the option of download of data stored in Samsung Cloud will be available. The automatic transfer of Samsung Cloud data through OneDrive integration will also no longer be supported from that moment on,” the company explains. And last but not least, on June 30, 2021, Samsung will end the data download support, at which point the company is ready to pull the said services completely. Users who currently have files uploaded in the Samsung Cloud can either transfer them to OneDrive or download the data to their computers.
Worth knowing, however, is that if you select to download the files on your device, Samsung may no longer offer the migration option to OneDrive, so if you eventually decide to use cloud storage, the automatic solution to switch to Microsoft wouldn’t be available anymore.
