How to use OneDrive Gallery Sync

You can sync all your memorable pictures and videos using Microsoft OneDrive. By syncing them you can access them later to revisit them or restore the photos and videos that were accidentally deleted. To set your Gallery to automatically sync with your OneDrive you can follow the below steps.

Your Gallery app’s Auto Sync feature might be turned off by default, but you can easily turn it on so all your photos and videos will be synced to OneDrive.

1.     Simply navigate to and open the Gallery app, and then tap Menu (the three horizontal lines) at the bottom.

2.   Tap Settings, and then tap the switch next to "Sync with OneDrive" to enable the sync. If you've signed in to your Microsoft account, but it hasn't been linked to your Samsung account, the option will be Cloud sync. If you aren't signed in to a Microsoft account or haven't connected it yet, you will be prompted to do so. Follow any on-screen instructions.

1.     Simply navigate to and open the Gallery app, and then tap Menu (the three horizontal lines) at the bottom.

2.   Tap Settings.

3.   Tap Sync with OneDrive.

4.   And then tap Albums to sync.

5.     From here, you can choose which albums will sync to OneDrive by tapping the switch next to the album.

You can use OneDrive on your phone, tablet, or computer to download photos and videos to another device. If there’s a photo stored in OneDrive that you’d like to use as a phone background, just download it using the app.

1.     Navigate to and open the OneDrive app, and then tap the Photos tab.

2.      Tap Move to Recycle bin to confirm.

3.  Then tap the photo you’d like to restore, and select the more option (the three upper dots).

If you accidentally deleted a picture from OneDrive, it’s not a big deal. Your photos and videos will still be safe in the Recycle bin for 93 days, so you’ll be able to get your file back. You can also restore deleted files from the OneDrive website.

1.     Navigate to and open the OneDrive app, and then find your profile by tapping the Me tab.

2.      Tap Recycle bin.

3.     Then tap the photo you’d like to restore, and select the more option (the three upper dots).
